Donna Deitch’s classic film Desert Hearts is kicking off NewFest’s annual 5-day retrospective series on March 26th at BAM Cinemas 30 Lafayette Avenue in Brooklyn, NY at 7:30P. Queering the Canon: We're Out Here runs March 26th to 30th in NYC. Desert Hearts is one of the greatest love stories of all time & will be presented in a new 2K restoration. The cast includes Helen Shaver, Patricia Charbonneau, Audra Lindley & Andra Akers. The film takes place in 1959 when Professor Vivian Bell arrives in Reno, Nevada for a divorce. There she meets Cay Rivers a wild short jean wearing sculptor/casino employee who is brazenly herself. These 2 opposing forces circle around each other falling in lust & love as Cay dares Vivian to take a risk for something more. The film is directed & producer by Donna Deitch with producer Cami Taylor & written by Natalie Cooper. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Donna Deitch. NewFest is NYC’s largest presenter of LGBTQ film & media & the largest convener of LGBTQ audiences in the city. Their mission is to give voice & visibility to the wide scope of LGBTQ experiences through films & programs that entertain, educate & empower. In 2017 when The Provincetown Film Society honored Deitch I talked to her personal commitment is to LGBTQ equality. Donna stated, “My personal commitment to LGBTQ equality is 100% but I think that I am most useful in terms of my commitment & my production to making that come about is just making movies that tell these stories.”
