In the Family is the story of Chip Hines, a precocious six year old, who has only known life with his two dads, Cody and Joey while growing up in the small town of Martin, Tennessee.
This multiple award winning film focuses on the current social themes of defining a family, love, human dignity and marriage equality.
“Topical and timeless… a remarkably fresh and unpredictable drama… one of the most accomplished and undersold directorial debuts this year.” Paul Brunick, The New York Times
“An indie masterpiece… a film that avoids any message or statement and simply shows us, with infinite sympathy, how the life of a completely original character can help us lead our own.” Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Sponsors and Community Partners for this special presentation are: OREGON COUNTRY FAIR; PRIDE FOUNDATION; BASIC RIGHTS OREGON and EUGENE WEEKLY.
Good Works Film Festival brings social justice the best feature films to the Eugene area that might not be available otherwise. GWFF engages local organizations, local government and businesses to participate in the post screening discussion and to meet attendees at the Festival HUB or receptions. It is our premise that we can no longer afford to see a film and not respond through some kind of action.
Cost is $8 general, $7 students and seniors.
