Bolton Friend’s film in LGBT+ festival
Rosie Adamson-Clark's short film is being shown at the Museum of Liverpool
A Quaker from Bolton Meeting will have her film about ‘coming out’ as a gay teenager shown at the Museum of Liverpool this week.
Nan to the Rescue by Rosie Adamson-Clark and directed by Mel Plumley tells the story ‘of a teenage girl coming out in the 1980s in a homophobic town, and the unexpected support of her Nan’.
The film is one of six short films called ‘Women’s Stories’ which, according to Rosie Adamson-Clark, explore ‘various issues such as female homelessness, alcohol dependency, coming out as gay/lesbian, infant mortality and disability’. She has also made a film about a Syrian woman which she said she made ‘after becoming friends with a woman from Syria in the refugee sewing group at Bolton Meeting. It might prove to be an awareness tool and a focus of discussions about refugees’.
Nan to the Rescue will also be shown at Bolton Museum on 29 February as part of the LGBT+ history month’s ‘OUTing the Past’ festival.
