Making History With Two Equality Award Recipients

The LOFT LGBTQ+ Community Center is proud to announce that for the first time in The LOFT’s history, 2023 will have two recipients for The Edie Windsor & Thea Spyer Equality Award, The Honorable Mondaire Jones, and Westchester County Executive, George Latimer.

Both lawmakers and leaders have made extraordinary contributions that have directly impacted and empowered The LOFT and so many lives of our LGBTQ+ community! We hope you can join us on Friday, September 22, 2023, as we celebrate these incredible community champions.

Celebrated filmmaker Ira Sachs (Love is Strange) makes a breathtaking return with Passages, a fresh, honest, and brutally funny take on messy modern relationships starring Franz Rogowski (Great Freedom), Ben Whishaw (Women Talking), and Adèle Exarchopoulos (Blue Is the Warmest Colour). Set in Paris, this seductive drama tells the story of Tomas (Rogowski) and Martin (Whishaw), a gay couple whose marriage is thrown into crisis when Tomas begins a passionate affair with Agathe (Exarchopoulos), a younger woman he meets after completing his latest film.

Join OUT at The MOVIES group to see Passages at the Jacob Burns Film Center, August 20-Sunday. The group gathers at 4:20 for 4:30 showing. Group meets up afterward at a nearby eatery.
