This June, celebrate Pride Month with a 30th anniversary screening of The Celluloid Closet, an exuberant and informative movie about the hundred-year history of the roles gay men and lesbians have had on the silver screen.
The Celluloid Closet is an epic story, by turns surprising, hilarious, and disturbing. Academy Award-winning filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman assemble clips from over 100 Hollywood movies and interviews with many of the filmmakers and actors who created them (including Tom Hanks, Shirley MacLaine, Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Curtis, and Gore Vidal).
“Thoroughly enjoyable…a colorful overview with the popular appeal of a ‘That’s Entertainment’…sheer fun.” – The New York Times
