Encounters

‘In a hundred years of movies, homosexuality has only rarely been depicted on the screen.  When it did appear, there as something to laugh at – or something to pity – or even something to fear.  These were fleeting images, but they were unforgettable, and they left a lasting legacy’ - The Celluloid Closet. This new collection from the BFI, featuring a number of rarely-seen gay classic shorts, is essential viewing for anyone interested in experimental and queer cinema.Contains: 'Dream a40' Dir.
