Join us to kick off the new semester with a screening of Epstein and Friedman's 1995 classic "The Celluloid Closet" on Tuesday, Febraury 3rd, at 6:30 pm in the newly renovated Combes building (room C-102).
The Celluloid Closet is a 1995 American documentary film directed and written by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. The film is based on Vito Russo's book of the same name first published in 1981 and on lecture and film clip presentations he gave in 1972–82. Russo had researched the history of how motion pictures, especially Hollywood films, had portrayed gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender characters.
