The cruise will kick off with the world premiere of the short film, “We Started with an Old Shoebox”, a world tour of LGBT archives and historians saving our history.

Filmmakers on board will be presenting some of the most significant archival based films ever produced, including Stu Maddux‘s REEL IN THE CLOSET.

Producers Greta Schiller, Robert Rosenberg, & John Scagliotti presenting the remastered classic film BEFORE STONEWALL in time to celebrate the 50th anniversaryof the Stonewall riots. BEFORE STONEWALL won an Emmy Award in 1987 for its pioneering archival work.

Sam Berliner, the director of Seattle’s Translations Transgender Film Festival, will curate a collection of transgender themed short films that will make use of newly discovered archival material.

In addition to these important screenings, there will be panelists exploring how LGBT archives, filmmakers, and the public have been working to save LGBT history and to make that history available for film and television.
