Event Information

 * Name: Screening of Underneath by Katrina Deaton
 * Performer:
 * Description: The event consists of screening Underneath, which is a feature film by African American filmmaker Katrina Deaton at the QCA. This screening is an opportunity to create community between the QIPOC (Queer International/Students of Color) and white queer community on campus. By bringing this film into the QCA we hope to make QIPOC events feel more inclusive to the white queer community on campus and hopefully make the QCA,as a space, a more comfortable and accessible environment for QIPOC students. Underneath tells the story of a young black woman from Philadelphia who is ona path of self-discovery, which is plagued by her struggles to find peace in staying true to herself and accommodating the expectations of others. Underneath is one of few LGBTQ films on the festival circuit today that focuses on the story of black lesbian women, and has in fact been created by black queer women. The film has enjoyed much success since its debut at the 2007 Philadelphia LGBTQ Film Festival. Since then it has circulated at the New Jersey and Chicago gay and lesbian film festivals as well as at several independent screenings across the USA. The film has recently made its international debut at the Out In Africa South African Gay &amp; Lesbian Film Festival in 2008.
