Pioneers of Queer Cinema is an attempt to recover some American queer films that are now little-known, and many rarely ever seen at all, and put them in conversation with a relative handful of works now deemed classics--with the latter group ranging from Kenneth Anger's short Fireworks (1947) to some of the heady '90s fare that made up the movement film scholar and historian B. Ruby Rich dubbed "New Queer Cinema" in 1992. The shorts and feature films in this program, both narrative and documentary, are just a sliver of the works that were at the forefront of slowly shifting perceptions of and conversations about the queer community, for both queer and non-queer audiences alike.
