To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the earliest surviving feature film about LGBT people, the Provincetown Film Society presents a special screening of the recently restored DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS.
Once feared lost, it's believed to be the only gay-themed movie from Germany's progressive Weimar era that survived destruction after Hitler took power.
The film tells a compelling story of secrecy and oppression that continues to play out in today's world.
The film stars Conrad Veidt (Major Strasser in Casablanca) as Paul Korner, a violinist whose romance with a talented male student is thwarted when a blackmailer threatens to expose the relationship and Korner's homosexuality, then a crime under Germany's notorious Paragraph 175.
Featuring original live-scoring and accompaniment by Provincetown musician Billy Hough, with vocal ensemble led by Grammy award winner Jason McStoots.
Post-screening panel discussion with film historian Michael Bronski, as well as an extra set of music by Billy Hough!
$75 VIP Tickets include a pre-screening reception featuring the tastes and flavors of Dorchester and reserved seating.
Reception begins at 5:30.
