Wednesday, November 9 at 12 noon and 7 p.m. (potluck at 6:30 p.m.), FCNV, 1584 N. Van Ness (SE Corner McKinley and Van Ness). The Fresno Center for Nonviolence will present for its 2nd Wed. Video the documentary “Call me Malcolm”. Its director Joseph Parlagreco of Filmworks, Inc., co-produced the film with the United Church of Christ. It tells the story of Malcolm E. Himschoot, then a third-year student at Iliff School of Theology, who was eventually ordained in 2004 by the UCC’s Denver Metropolitan Association. The documentary is more than an examination of Malcolm’s life or the struggles of the transgender community, but a film that all can relate to, because it’s about discerning, discovering and celebrating one’s identity.
Parlagreco, an award-winning cinematographer whose directing credits include work for ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS and VH1, says the UCC has served as a “minister to the film.”
“Imagine,” Parlagreco muses, “a church producing a feature documentary for film festivals –about a transgender minister. 90 minutes. Free to the public. Wheelchair accessible. Call the Center Mon-Fri 11-3 at 559-237-3223 for more information.
