This week’s curated collection of films to get you through quarantine focuses on the past of cinema itself and includes some historic films that have recently been rereleased in beautifully restored versions.
These restorations feature greatly enhanced picture quality and are often released with a variety of fascinating special features.
As Vito Russo, Susan Stryker and other film and cultural historians have noted, queer filmmakers and LGBT subjects have been part of the industry since moving images were first captured on celluloid.
Thanks to the staff at Kino Lorber (kinolorber.com), some of the earliest images from queer cinema have been preserved for future generations of cinephiles.
