Invitation - Public screening and discussion with the director of 'Brief Tender Light' - 7 November at 16.00 hrs

[Infopoint]

Dear All,

Join us on *Friday 7 November* at *4 p.m. *in ICTP’s *Budinich Lecture 
Hall, Leonardo building *for the free public screening of the 
award-winning documentary “*Brief Tender Light*,” followed by a Q&A 
session with the film director, Arthur Musah, moderated by ICTP research 
scientist Ali Hassanali.

*Brief Tender Light* follows four African MIT students over a 
decade-long journey from the moment when they leave their respective 
countries for the United States, and as they are forced to decide how 
much of America to absorb, how much of Africa to hold on to, and how to 
reconcile teenage ideals with the truths they discover about the world 
and themselves.

*Arthur Musah* was born in Ukraine and raised in Ghana, where he 
attended the Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School in Legon, Accra. Having 
graduated from MIT as an engineer in 2004, he returned as a filmmaker to 
create Brief Tender Light out of a need to explore the transformative 
experience of studying abroad, which among other things allowed him to 
come out as a gay man.

The event is free and everyone is welcome. Registration is required at
