an “all new” website and trailer are expected to be launched on March 10, 2010. Please come back and visit us with our new festival face!

The “Out of Annapolis” Festival “Press Kit” is now available. See the Media/Festival Inquiries pages.

An interim report of the “Out of Annapolis Study” which accompanies the documentary film about the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered alumni of the US Naval Academy, often the "uncounted losses" to the officer corps of the US Navy and US Marine Corps, is now available.

Of over 300 known gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender US Naval Academy Alumni, more than 155 have come “Out of Annapolis” as the LGBT alumni of the US Naval Academy. Many other LGBT alumni remain "in the closet," serving in silence while on active duty in the service of their country as officers in the US Navy and US Marine Corps.

This film explores the lives of many of these alumni, how the US Naval Academy shaped their character, their enduring strong bond to the Academy and share their experiences while at Annapolis and while serving in the naval service as an LGBT officer, both pre- and post- Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell.

The quicktime trailer will download automatically, but you need to start the trailer when sufficient data are downloaded. You may also view a previous version of the trailer on YouTube.
