The East Coast
premiere of the recently restored 35-millimeter print of
the landmark film Parting Glances will take
place at New York City's Lincoln Center. Los
Angeles's LGBT film festival, Outfest, has
partnered with its New York's counterpart, NewFest, to
present this screening. The film, which helped launch
the careers of Steve Buscemi and Kathy Kinney, was Bill
Sherwood's only feature film before his untimely death
in 1990. Parting Glances was one of the first films
to address the AIDS epidemic. Cast members Kathy
Kinney, Richard Ganoung, and John Bolger are scheduled
to appear.
A VIP reception
is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., with the screening at 7:30
p.m. in the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Walter Reade
Theater, 165 W. 65th St., New York City. For tickets
