On Oct. 22, the PFS partners with the Savannah LGBT Center, 1515 Bull St., and the newly formed “queer cinema series” The Look Back to screen the award-winning 2000 documentary “Paragraph 175.” The documentary paints a vivid and emotional portrait of homosexuals who were persecuted by the Nazi regime, through candid, moving interviews with some of the now-elderly gay men who survived that horrific experience.
Featuring previously unseen archival material and long-hidden personal photographs, “Paragraph 175” offers a vivid look at one of the least known and most disgraceful aspects of the Third Reich. Admission is free to this first in an ongoing series of important LGBT-centric feature films to be screened in the new community center’s meeting room; however, voluntary donations in any amount are encouraged to help defray operating costs. Seating is limited and begins at 6 p.m., with the film starting at 7 p.m.
