Event Details - Tournées Film Festival: 'Fort Buchanan'

The feature debut by Benjamin Crotty, a promising Paris-based American director, is an inspiring indication of the way forward for queer cinema. Fort Buchanan follows the loves and losses of a group of army wives and husbands over four seasons. Everything about this community defies expectations, yet underlying this fanciful remix of reality are subtle but steady reminders of darker truths. A reception marking the close of the film festival precedes the screening at 1:30pm, and a Q&A follows with professors Jacob Longaker, politics, and Jay Sosa, of the gender, sexuality and women's studies program at Bowdoin.
