Pray Away and Stray among press favorites at SXSW and Tribeca
Kristine Stolakis' (‘15) Pray Away and Elizabeth Lo 's (‘15) Stray featured in this Hollywood Reporter round-up of the best films from SXSW and Tribeca 2020.
About Pray Away:
“Four prominent defectors from the religious right’s gay “conversion” therapy programs speak out about the damage inflicted on themselves and countless LGBTQ youth in Kristine Stolakis’ powerful documentary, executive produced by Jason Blum. It’s a sobering account of Christian intervention rooted in toxic homophobia.”
About Stray:
“This affecting debut documentary from Elizabeth Lo does for Istanbul’s dogs what 2017’s Kedi did for the Turkish city’s cats. The earlier film was generally soothing and hopeful — a cinematic valentine — while this one pierces, illuminating, through its central canines’ adventures, the economic and political divisions and cultural hierarchies that define our time.”
