IN-PERSON: How Has Hollywood (Mis)Represented Homosexuality   

**This class will be taught In-Person**

Trailers from mainstream movies from the 1960s and 1970s inspire an interactive investigation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender characters as depicted by Hollywood. Titles include Myra Breckinridge, Victim, Something For Everyone, and The Killing of Sister George, among others. Selected from Jenni  Olson’s compilation “Homo Promos,” these trailers — color and black & white — are comic and  cringeworthy, sometimes in equal measure. How did Hollywood’s representation of queer life affect your  understanding of your own or others’ sexuality? Do you have a favorite — or traumatic — memory of  these films? When is the first — or last — time you saw them?

This class is not available at this time.
