THE CELLULOID CLOSET (1995) dir. Rob Epstein & Jeffrey Friedman This documentary highlights the historical contexts that gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders have occupied in cinema history, and shows the evolution of the entertainment industry's role in shaping perceptions of LGBT figures. The issues addressed include secrecy - which initially defined homosexuality - as well as the demonization of the community with the advent of AIDS, and finally the shift toward acceptance and positivity in the modern era.

Silicon Valley Tech Moguls Want to Build a New City in California

When rich people start buying up land, it’s always fairly disturbing. If and when those same people start telling you that they’re going to use the land to make the world a better place, it’d only be natural to feel certifiably creeped out. Unfortunately, this is what’s been happening in northern California, where some of Silicon Valley’s most prominent bigwigs have snatched up a huge amount of…

Updates!

I will be attending a screening of the new documentary THE ABCs of BOOK BANNING this coming Thursday, December 7th 2023, at 7:30pm at the Marina Theater at 2149 Chestnut St, San Francisco, CA, 94123 (cross street is Steiner). This film was directed and produced by Sheila Nevins; it's about 30 minutes long and I appear in it for about 3 minutes. After the screening I'll be part of a panel discussion with Jeffrey Friedman, whose films include The Celluloid Closet and many other wonderful queer documentaries, and the film's editor Gladys Mae Murphy. It's free to attend but you have to RSVP ahead of time to [email protected].

If you can't make it to the screening, the film is also streaming now on Paramount+

Speaking of banned books, my episode of the podcast Borrowed and Banned from the Brooklyn Public library is now up. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but I loved the first couple episodes of the show that I listened to back in October.

And finally, if you have someone who loves puzzles on your holiday gift list this winter, you could consider this 500-piece new Banned Book puzzle published by Chronicle Books. The spine of Gender Queer is included with many other beloved titles. A portion of the proceeds go towards PEN America, an organization which combats censorship and has supported me over the past few years.

Also! My next book, Breathe: Journeys to Healthy Binding written with Sarah Peitzmeier is now available for reorder :D

"In queer film criticism, mainstream cinema has long stood as the culprit in distasteful and harmful depictions of LGBT people. To many critical and scholarly accounts, its history is laden with ruthless Hollywood directors and executives sensationalizing or censoring sexuality and gender variance. Accordingly, Hollywood and other mainstream industries made films littered with the vilified stereotypes of the helpless pansy, the prurient lesbian vampire, the self- loathing and confused closet case, the insatiable bisexual, and the depraved transsexual. And as one might assume, their narrative outcomes were almost always bleak. That is, of course, if the film could even get away with explicitly representing queerness instead of just alluding to or encoding it, as was the case during the Hays Code years. For critics and scholars, these texts reflected an oppressive culture determined to malign queers. The result of these depictions, it has been argued, is to help construct or reinforce harmful ideas and, for queer spectators, to produce feelings of self- disgust and inadequacy. It is in this way that trauma and harm— both self- inflicted and motivating hate in others— get centralized in queer film scholarship that charts non-avant-garde histories pre–New Queer Cinema.

(...)

In its affective politics, much scholarly queer film historiography begins to look, as Sedgwick would put it, quite “paranoid.” After all, the narrators of this history meet Sedgwick’s criteria for paranoid readings: to anticipate an object’s harm; to have faith in the ideological exposure, demystification, and decryption of its harm; and to generate others’ analogous participation by way of making paranoia teachable and mimetic. I want to stress that Russo is not the only paranoid reader in this historiography, notwithstanding his resounding influence. Reading queer cinema scholarship through the years reveals that pleasure is too often taken as suspect. The default starting point is frequently homophobia, heteronormativity, and heterosexism, the scholar then positing how these problematically structure viewer desire and identification. Further, from gender studies to film studies courses, the 1995 documentary The Celluloid Closet (Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman) continues to be a mainstay of queer film pedagogy. The film version, like the book, enjoins its readers to adopt a certain kind of interrogative practice that takes representation at face value. This becomes a teachable narrative with a cogent argument and streamlined thesis about queer film history. Epstein and Friedman’s documentary, Heather Love suggests, echoes Russo’s aim to chart what she provisionally calls the “trauma of queer spectatorship.” Love, however, shrewdly observes that something felicitous happens in translation from book to screen. Although it follows the overall structure of the book, the documentary version of The Celluloid Closet (1995) supplements Russo’s narration with a polyphony of voices— ranging from scholarly expertise to personal anecdote— from critics, actors, and directors who all have close relationships to the queer films cited. Love writes, “[T] he use of interviews creates the atmosphere of a group screening, in which knowing subjects speak over and against the images we see on the screen and also drain them of their pathologizing force.” Love here pinpoints how the documentary functions as a (conscious or not) reparative modifier to Russo’s severe approach, lending other viewpoints and positions to a queer spectatorial past. Such voices, I would agree, mitigate the perceived trauma of queer spectatorship by giving necessary voice to negative affects and by restoring the place of pleasure, awkward and shameful as it may be at times. Take, for example, Harvey Fierstein’s bashfully revealing his love for and identification with the stereotype of the sissy; or recall Susie Bright relishing Mrs. Danvers’s fur fetishism in Rebecca (Alfred Hitchcock, 1940). By including clips from and romantic montages of different queer films, or even films with sparse queer moments, the documentary tacitly sidesteps Russo’s line of argumentation, thereby enacting a form of reparative historicizing that subordinates— in moments— trauma to pleasure. It brings to bear the alternate histories, where structures of multiple feelings are brought to the fore."

“concerns.”

CSSE acquired 1091 Pictures for $15.6 million in March 2022. Based in Cos Cob, Conn., CSSE is rooted in the feel-good self-help book and media franchise. The company went public in 2017 with a “crowdsourced” IPO that raised $30 million. Under the leadership of Rouhana, the company has expanded in recent years with acquisitions of streaming platforms such as Crackle, formerly owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Red Box Entertainment, the physical and online distribution network that has struggled amid the rise of streaming platforms. 1091 Pictures was formed by industry veterans Danny Stein and Joe Samberg through the acquisition of Orchard Film Group. Among the high-profile titles in the 1091 library are Morgan Neville’s “The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble,” Taika Waititi’s “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” and Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman’s “Linda Rondstadt: The Sound of My Voice.”

Google Variety and 1091 productions and an in-depth article appears.

Ten Books to Know Me

Rules: 10 books for people to get to know you better, or that you just really like.

Tagged by @broomsticks, thank you so much! 💖 Love that you listed Battle Royale—what a good manga series!

Going a little loosey-goosey on the selections, here.

Batman Annual #2 by Tom King and Lee Weeks I’m not a well-versed capes person, but this always makes me cry.

Blankets by Craig Thompson Beautiful graphic novel about coming of age in the midwestern US.

Bravetart: Iconic American Desserts by Stella Parks It’s a damn good cookbook and a wonderful history of American desserts. Parks’ research and introductions to the foods are as worth reading as the food is worth making.

Cat’s Eye by Margaret Atwood Probably the reason I imprinted on narratives of middle-aged protagonists reflecting on their pasts.

The Fifth Form at St. Dominic’s by Talbot Baines Reed The platonic ideal of my interest in the public school novel.

I Love Dick by Chris Kraus Absolutely perverse recounting of a woman’s sexual obsession with an uninterested man, and I mean that as high praise. Makes the private into the public in a way that seared me.

The Little Schemer by Daniel P. Friedman A textbook written like a children’s picture book, complete with illustrations, about one of the most beautiful programming languages of all time.

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides A formative exposure to gender identity as changeable and imperfect.

Pond by Claire-Louise Bennett Quiet, mundane, wonderfully descriptive recounting of a life in rural Ireland.

The Sandman (collected series) by Neil Gaiman and various artists Nostalgia in a 10-volume series.
