Samara Co-Sponsors Film Concept 2 and Samara Foundation of Vermont are proud to co-sponsor the screening of John Scag|iotti's new film, Dangerous Living: Coming out in the Developing World, at the Green Mountain Film Festival in Montpelier. Despite massive efforts by gay organizations around the world, the majority of nations entered the 21st century with horrific laws that keep their gay and lesbian populations locked away in their closets, and, at times, in prison. In some countries, “getting caught" can even incur the death penalty. John Scag|iotti’s film is the first documentary to deeply explore the lives of GLBT people in non-western cul- tures, from Egypt and Namibia to Brazil and the Philippines. The film will be showing on Sunday, March 20 at 9 PM and Saturday,_ March 26 at 4:30 PM. at the film festival’s City Hall loca- tion. Post-film event: John Scagliotti will appear to dis- cuss the film at the Saturday, March 26 show. Please visit http://www.focusonfi|m.net or call 802.262.3456 for more information. The deadline to apply for a Samara scholarship is April 1. Please visit the VSAC website at www.vsac.org or call 888.253.4819 for more information.
