LGBTQ Film Series Screening of Lavender Hill

In 1973 a group of young writers, artists and activists built Lavender Hill, a gay and lesbian commune near Danby NY. While a dozen straight communes thrived in Tompkins County, Lavender Hill was a remarkable experiment in collaboration, gender exploration, and social political integration between young gay men and lesbians in the post-Stonewall era. This intentional community had its beginnings in the Gay Liberation Front and its twilight during the AIDS crisis.
