This month's event is in conjunction with International AIDS Memorial Day on 16 May 2010 (Suinday) with the theme "Many Lights for Human Right"
PT Foundation & Seksualiti Merdeka present
Queer As Films
AND THE BAND PLAYED ON
(1993, Directed by Roger Spottiswoode)
Star by Matthew Modine with special appearance by Alan Alda, Phil Collins, Richard Gere, Anjelica Huston, Steve Martin, Ian McKellen and Lily Tomlin etc.
A real-life drama about the tragic, time-consuming battles among government agencies, gay groups and scientists that impeded the discovery of, and research on, the AIDS virus.
Gay leader Bill Kraus is dying -- and no doctor can name the disease that's killing him. All anyone knows is that some epidemic is attacking homosexual men. But rather than get down to serious experimentation and study, the Center for Disease Control stonewalls any effort to prove that the disease is transmitted through the blood; French and American scientists squabble about who should get credit for discovering the virus; and the gay community, sensitive about criticism of their lifestyle, refuses to admit that their own actions could make a difference in the spread of AIDS.
Meanwhile, the death toll mounts... and mounts... and mounts...
