April 1974 marks a monumental moment in queer history: the American Psychiatric Association removed the diagnosis of homosexuality from its manual of mental illnesses. This milestone represents a crucial victory for the queer liberation movement in the US and paved the way for subsequent strides in achieving equal rights.
Following the screening, our special guests will take the stage for a dynamic talkback celebrating the 50th anniversary of this groundbreaking moment in queer history.
We invite you to please stay for the reception and celebrate with us after the screening! If you’d like to attend both the screening and reception, you’ll need to select both tickets individually on the registration page.
About the Film
Described as “fascinating” (Hollywood Reporter), “riveting” (The Queer Review), “timely and urgent” (Cinerama Film), and “one of the best documentaries of this or any year” (British Film Institute), CURED takes viewers inside the David-versus-Goliath battle that led the American Psychiatric Association to officially remove the diagnosis of homosexuality from its manual of mental illnesses 50 years ago this April.
