Different from the Others

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the earliest surviving feature film about LGBTQ people, the Provincetown Film Society presents a special screening of the recently restored DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS. Once feared lost, it’s believed to be the only gay-themed movie from Germany’s progressive Weimar era that survived destruction after Hitler took power.

Thursday, December 5th, 2019 – 7:00 PM
Strand Theatre, Dorchester MA
$25 for general admission, $20 for student tickets includes the screening with live music accompaniment, a Q&A with film historian, a raffle of Provincetown Film Festival passes and other prizes, and a bonus musical set by Billy Hough with Grammy-award winner Jason McStoots. $75 VIP tickets include a pre-screening reception featuring the tastes and flavors of Dorchester, meet & greet with Billy, and premium seating.

DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS (Anders als die Andern) tells a compelling story of secrecy and oppression that continues to play out in today’s world. The film stars Conrad Veidt (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Casablanca) as Paul Körner, a violinist whose romance with a talented male student is thwarted when a blackmailer threatens to expose the relationship and Körner’s homosexuality, then a crime under Germany’s notorious Paragraph 175.

A portion of the proceeds from this event will be going to The Trevor Project, the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth.
