Be the First to See The Weinstein Company's The
Imitation Game
|
|
ONE Archives Foundation and the Weinstein Company invite you and a guest to special advance screenings of the highly anticipated new film, The Imitation Game in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, and Washington, DC.
During the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to investigate a reported burglary. They instead ended up arresting Turing himself on charges of 'gross indecency', an accusation that would lead to his devastating conviction for the criminal offense of homosexuality - little did officials know, they were actually incriminating the pioneer of modern-day computing.
Famously leading a motley group of scholars, linguists, chess champions and intelligence officers, he was credited with cracking the so-called unbreakable codes of Germany's World War II Enigma machine. An intense and haunting portrayal of a brilliant, complicated man, The Imitation Game follows a genius who under nail-biting pressure helped to shorten the war and, in turn, save thousands of lives. Directed by Morten Tyldum with a screenplay by Graham Moore, the film stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Rory Kinnear, Allen Leech, Matthew Beard, Charles Dance and Mark Strong. To RSVP and watch the trailer, click here. The Imitation Game opens in select theaters beginning November 28, 2014.

ONE was very fortunate this year to be awarded one of the 2014 Wells Fargo Community Support Grants for our work in addressing vital community needs and issues, including community development, education, human services and cultural/civic projects. We would like to give a huge thank you to Wells Fargo for their ongoing support of ONE, as well as their dedicated commitment to local non-profits year round through various grants programs. This grant will help fund ONE's education programs which bring much needed LGBTQ history to high school students nationwide, many of which did not even know this history existed.
