Edinburgh & the Lothians

The Celluloid Closet is the film version of author Vito Russo’s landmark book by the same name. It explodes sexual myths and explores how our attitudes about homosexuality and sex roles have evolved through the century. With clips from over 100 Hollywood movies and interviews with many of the filmmakers and actors who created them (including Tom Hanks, Shirley MacLaine, Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Curtis, and Gore Vidal), The Celluloid Closet is an epic story – by turns surprising, hilarious, and disturbing. Everyone welcome!
