Cinema Minima’s Independent Film Night features selections from the Rainbow Roots Project and full-length film Antonia’s Line!
THIS SUN, April 1, Cinema Minima’s Independent Film Night features selections from the Rainbow Roots Project and full-length film Antonia’s Line.
The Rainbow Roots Project
Sunday, April 1st
8pm
Cole’s, 2338 N. Milwaukee
The Rainbow Roots Projects was founded to document the individual histories of Chicago-area LGBT couples. Rainbow Roots is dedicated to sharing the love, laughter, and legacies of LGBT families with the world. The project uses photography, The Rainbow Roots Blog, social media, and a series of mini-documentaries to share the stories and traditions both familiar and unique. http://www.rainbowroots.com
Some of the stories from the Rainbow Roots Project:
Photo 1 – Darlene & Amirah: After over 20 years together and raising two children, Darlene & Amirah are ready to share their laughter and their wisdom. This former carpenter and chef now spend their time being actively involved with their church and caring for their new grandson, Douglas and their god-daughter, Anya.
Photo 2 – Armando & Scott: This cosmopolitan pair brings into the 21st century. After meeting on MySpace being drawn together by a psychic’s prophecy and the strength of their Catholic faith, Armando & Scott now own a home, just celebrated their 4th anniversary, and use their free time to mentor struggling teens in their community.
Photo 3 – Deb & Gail: Together 16 years and counting, this writer and former nurse have gone from hardcore activists to supermoms. Though no stranger to adversity, their bond only grows deeper. Deb & Gail share stories of good times and bad and the connection between them that runs through it all.

Art@Cole’s #16:
AB(e)DUCTED! The Honest Abe Art Show
THE BACKGROUND:
In December, a heinous act of art theft struck Cole’s Bar and robbed it of its prized Velvet Lincoln painting. Cut out of its frame, all that was left was an empty shell as a reminder of the lack of respect that made it’s way into Cole’s.
THE PEOPLE’S RESPONSE:
To right this wrong, artists and the community flooded Cole’s with newly created replacement Abe’s!
