This Thursday, Mark Quigley, Manager of The UCLA Film & Television Archive's Research and Study Center, will be coming to class to speak with us about the many LGBT media-related resources available to scholars at UCLA.
In particular, he'll talk about the archive's enormous Outfest Collection, which includes every film that Outfest (L.A.'s long-running LGBTQ film festival) has shown, among other materials. He'll also be showing QUEENS AT HEART, an extremely rare short documentary about drag culture in New York from 1965 (it will serve as an interesting representation of the period in which Vito moved to New York, and is also a useful precursor to Cruising and Paris is Burning, which both deal with LGBTQ subcultures in New York). It was recently restored by The UCLA Film & Television Archive's Outfest Legacy Project, a fantastic project dedicated to preserving LGBTQ films.
Mark sent over this poster of SHE MAN, which played on a double bill with QUEENS OF HEART. Unfortunately, we don't have SHE MAN in the archive. But if you want it, believe it or not, you can buy it here.
