Fabulous! The Story of Queer Cinema
2006, English. Directed by Lisa Ades & Lesli Klainberg.
Documents the history of gays and lesbians in Hollywood films.
A chronological look at films by, for, or about gays and lesbians in the United States, from 1947 to 2005, Kenneth Anger's "Fireworks" to "Brokeback Mountain". Talking heads, anchored by critic and scholar B. Ruby Rich, are interspersed with an advancing timeline and with clips from two dozen films.
