The Film & Media Studies Program at Johns Hopkins University presents a special screening of Chris and Don: A Love Story, November 14, 7PM, Room 110, Hodson Hall, on the Homewood campus at 3400 N. Charles Street. The screening will be followed by a question and answer session with filmmakers Guido Santi and Tina Mascara, and portrait painter Don Bachardy, one of the subjects of the film. The event is co-sponsored by the Homewood Arts Program; Homewood Art Workshops; Department of English; Program for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality; the Writing Seminars; and the Diverse Sexuality and Gender Alliance.
Stephen Holden, in the New York Times, described the film as a "tender, extremely touching . . elegantly structured documentary."
Robert Koehler, in Variety, called it "a particularly beguiling real-life gay love saga. Made with gentle grace and sensitivity . ."
