by Joanna Sodeman-Taylor Hello everybody! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted anything, and I’m excited to present a bunch of queer cinema this month. I love Ben’s pieces on queer cinema, and it kicked me in the pants to start plotting my own series. The thought of only having a straight person celebrating Pride at The Film Experience of all places - we can’t have it! Ahead of whatever I’ll be reviewing this month, let’s just define “queer” along some fairly broad lines. We got films explicitly focused on queer subject matter, films with queer people in notable roles on- and/or off-screen, subtextual queens, camp queens, objects that have become ensconced in queer culture for one reason or another regardless of their sexuality, and stuff my gay friends really like! I’ll be kicking things off with Shirley Clarke’s seminal 1967 documentary Portrait of Jason . . . .
