Hither Green Cinema presents 'The Celluloid Closet (1995)

Event information

From comic sissies to lesbian vampires, from pathetic queens to sadistic predators, Hollywood has both reflected and defined how we think about homosexuality. The 1995 film The Celluloid Closet shows clips from over 100 films as well as interviews with many of the filmmakers and actors including Tom Hanks, Susan Sarandon and Tony Curtis. Lily Tomlin narrates this surprising, hilarious and disturbing documentary about gay and lesbian movie characters since the very beginning of cinema. The Celluloid Closet explodes sexual myths and explores how our attitudes about homosexuality and sex roles have evolved through the century.
Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans history month takes place every year in February and celebrates the lives and achievements of the LGBT community.
From 5pm there will be an opportunity to talk with local LGBT social and campaigning groups. There may even be freebies!
Delicious cakes and treats will be on sale, as well as tea and coffee and a licensed bar.
