“SUITED” – A Free Pride Month Film Screening

Thursday, June 28th | 6:00pm (DOORS) | 6:30 p.m. (SCREENING)
at The Somerville Theatre, 55 Davis Square
The screening is free but please arrive early as it is first come, first serve!

SUITED tells the story of Bindle & Keep, a Brooklyn-based tailoring company that specializes in clothing for people who are LGBTQ, gender-nonconforming, or nonbinary. Clothier duo Rae and Daniel take a holistic approach to their work, considering each client’s personal narrative, which becomes inextricable from the creation of the perfect custom-made suit. From Derek’s emotional journey as he prepares for his wedding to Everett, a law student in a conservative environment, or Melissa, who simply wants to look good for a 40th birthday party – the need for well-fitting garments represents deeper issues of identity, empowerment, and the importance of feeling happy in one’s body.

Post-Film Panel: At 8pm there will be a panel discussion on “Sexual Orientation, Inclusion, and Gender Identity” will follow the documentary with panelists: Bennet Hazell: Somerville High Student & Gay Straight Alliance member, Matt Storm: a Multidisciplinary Artist based in Washington D.C., Hannah Simpson: a Transgender Writer and Activist based in NYC and moderated by Leo Morris
