*The Life of Vito Russo: A Lecture by Michael Schiavi

2/21/2013*****

*7pm-9pm
Skylight Room (9100)
CUNY Graduate Center*

** **

In this multi-media presentation, Michael Schiavi discusses the life and
times of Vito Russo (1946-1990), author of The Celluloid Closet (1981), the
first study of Hollywood's treatment of lesbians and gay men. Celluloid
Closet was subsequently adapted into a documentary film in 1995 by
Oscar-winning directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, with narration by
Vito's dear friend Lily Tomlin. Russo was also a giant of post-Stonewall
gay and AIDS activism. He was an early and important member of Gay
Activists Alliance (GAA), as well as a co-founder of the Gay and Lesbian
Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) and a co-founder of the AIDS Coalition
to Unleash Power (ACT UP). In addition to Celluloid Activist: The Life and
Times of Vito Russo, Michael's recent biography, Vito's legacy is also
detailed in Vito (HBO Documentary Films), Jeffrey Schwarz's new
documentary, in which Michael appears as Vito's biographer. Michael's talk
incorporates readings from his book, lecture, and archival footage for a
dynamic portrait of an indisputed hero of LGBT activism.****
