MEETUP LOCATION (12:00 pm): Bibble & Sip 253 West 51st Street New York, NY 10019 SCREENING LOCATION (1:00 pm - 2:30 pm) Broadway Comedy Club 318 West 53rd Street New York, NY 10019 Join Zero and RelevantUsername for this limited screening of Words: A Documentary. Produced and directed by our very own AJ Mattioli, Words is an exploration of how people navigate identity in the open and evolving landscape of New York City. Using some of NYC's most fluid scenes as a backdrop, Words investigates the dissonance between self-constructed identity and identities that are projected onto us by society, and how they are contextualized in a range of environments, from the art world to the NYPD. Featuring exclusive interviews from a variety of artists, activists, icons, and innovators, Words promises to be a poignant and powerful tribute to the language we use to shape the many facets of our identities: as men, women, artists, New Yorkers, ... humans. A Percentage of the profits from the film will be donated to the Ali Forney Center, a New York City based non-profit that is “the largest agency dedicated to LGBTQ homeless youth in the country.” For more information about this organization, please visit: www.aliforneycenter.org.
