Paris screening of 'Take the Flame' a big success

The Federation of Gay Games is fortunate to have the rights to non-profit use of Take the Flame, David Secter's documentary on the Gay Games, covering the period from their founding in San Francisco to the Sydney games, with an in-depth profile on the life and work of our founder, Tom Waddell.

The film is very moving, and was the highlight of tonight's presentation of Gay Games VIII for potential participants held at the Paris gay and lesbian center. Although we feared that most people only casually interested in the Gay Games would leave before the screening, almost everyone stayed, and they remained "scotch-taped to their seats", as they say in France, to the end.

A second info evening featuring the film will be held March 30 at 19.30. Stay tuned for details!

If you would like to use the film for your promotion/information events, contact dlitwin@gaygames.org.

(And a round of applause to FSGL president Bruno Aussenac who saved the evening when Murphy and his law decided to have some fun with us).
