Monday, Oct 21, 6:30 – 9 pm.  Film Screening The LuLu Sessions and Panel Discussion with Filmmaker. NY Institute of Technology auditorium, 1871 Broadway (@ 61^st St), NYC.

First showing in NYC of this award-winning documentary since its 2011 premiere; shown for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October).

The LuLu Sessions is a raw, intimate yet surprisingly humorous story about the filmmaker showing up for her best friend and ex-something, Dr. Louise Nutter (“LuLu”)—world-class cancer researcher— who finds out she is dying of breast cancer herself at 42.  Together they test the limits of their bond while taking on life’s ultimate adventure in this moving film about 2 women and life.

Co-sponsored by Yale GALA, the Breast Cancer Initiative of the LGBT Community Center of NYC, the NY Institute of Technology and Asian Cinevision (list in formation).
