Any time. I assisted the directors on "The Celluloid Closet" doc (1995), based on the book by #VitoRusso. It explores the depictions of queer people from the beginning of film.

✍️ 🎬 I wrote tonight about working on "The Celluloid Closet." the 1995 doc based on #VitoRusso's research and book about the depiction of #queer characters in cinema.
#IMDb's description of the #movie begins with, "A #documentary surveying the various #Hollywood screen depictions of #homosexuals...:
In 2023, I have a BIG problem with the use of the word "homosexuals" to describe #LGBTQ+ persons.
#Amazon owns the "The Database of Record" for the #film industry.
Name, shame. Words matter.

🎬 #Queer #Film #History | #VitoRusso pioneered the study of how #LGBTQ+ folks were portrayed in movies. In 1995, his book "The Celluloid Closet" was made into an award-winning doc.
▶️ Often #queerness in film was relegated to subtext, as it was in "Ben Hur" screening now @ #TCM. In this clip, screenwriter #GoreVidal reveals the queer subtext of the relationship between #BenHur and #Masala only one of the actors knew about.
