“Back to the Future”

Ever wished you could revisit your high school prom…and do it better this time? Prom: the Sequel is your chance. For adults only, this prom will have all of the trimmings we remember, plus a few more you might not expect. Meant to inspire the spirit of proms past, the theme “Back to the Future” will highlight prom experiences from the ages, no matter what era you attended high school. Enjoy light hors d'oeuvres and adult beverages, dancing, and a silent auction, all with a liberal helping of sweet nostalgia. Formal dress is encouraged, but wear what you'd like. Everyone is welcome (singles too!), orientation is irrelevant, but this time you can bring who you really want. Proceeds from this event will go to support the 2009 Birmingham SHOUT Gay+Lesbian Film Festival.

The Alabama Moving Image Association, best known for the nationally recognized Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival, is proud to present the third annual Birmingham SHOUT Gay + Lesbian Film Festival. Since its creation, this festival has recognized the growing gay and lesbian communities in the Magic City as well as the increasing demand for alternative/independent films in our area. The festival showcases narrative films, documentaries and shorts by new and established artists, and offers filmgoers the rare opportunity to connect to topics of interest to the LGBT communities, as well as to interact with attending filmmakers.

The past two years have proven that the LGBT communities in Birmingham are hungry for more events that reflect who they are and where their passions lie. Our inaugural opening night film, small town gay bar, was shown to a packed theatre and this electric energy continued the rest of the weekend. In 2007, we kick-started the year's festivities by hosting Margaret Cho for a fundraising concert performance. We also increased the festival by one day, had a phenomenal film lineup, and gave Birmingham a very special weekend treat. Alan Cumming, one of the most talented actors of our time, joined us on Saturday night to present his film, Suffering Man's Charity. He was also honored with the first ever Beacon Award for increasing the visibility of LGBT characters and issues in popular media.
