Vito Southeastern premiere tonight will benefit Out on Film’s 25th anniversary
In the age of “Ellen” and Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation, the name Vito Russo may not exactly trip off the tongues of today’s LGBT youth. Documentary filmmaker Jeffrey Schwarz is hoping to change that with his latest doc, “Vito,” a thorough through-line of Russo’s many contributions to gay and lesbian civil rights. The film will have its Southeastern premiere tonight at 7:30 at Landmark Midtown Cinema as a benefit for Atlanta’s annual Out on Film LGBT film festival celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2012.
