You’re invited to join us for a screening of Wild & Precious, a film retelling of one man’s journey through 60 years of LGBT liberation. The screening will take place on the 10th floor of our 1340 Boylston St. building on June 4 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. This event is free and open to all.
What has it been to be part of the seismic social change in the first “out” generation of gay men? How did we get here? How do we stay here? From the love-that-dared-not-speak its name to Freedom to Marry? Filmed on his family farm in Vermont, Steve Cadwell’s Wild & Precious cycles through the seasons as the story cycles through a spectrum of our disorders to new order and beyond. Come on this wild and precious journey and keep questing for more.
Steve Cadwell is a writer, performer, and a senior psychotherapist specializing in trauma work. In addition to teaching about gender, sexuality, shame, and group therapy in the ”theaters” of BU Graduate School of Social Work and Harvard Medical School, Steve has practiced psychotherapy for the past 40 years. As he explains, “to practice is a messy, engrossing, enriching process; not perfection.” In this film, Steve has queered the roles of examiner and examined, healer and healed, using the trans-formative power of The Polymorphous/Jolly-More-For-Us in all that is Wild & Precious.
