World AIDS Museum Film Discussion Series: Parting Glances

Join the World AIDS Museum for our September Film Discussion Series featuring short clips of the 1986 film Parting Glances. As Robert, a successful young gay man, prepares to leave New York City for an extended work assignment abroad, his boyfriend, Michael, must contend with his imminent absence and its effect on their relationship. Meanwhile, Michael also cares for his ex-lover, Nick, who is struggling with HIV. At a going-away party for Robert, emotions run high as the men and their friends deal with their changing realities.
Several clips will be played and followed by an audience discussion on the ideas and implications of the scenes and the film’s impact. Audience members do not need to have seen the film beforehand to participate in the discussion.
