THREE PIONEERS OF QUEER CINEMA (Kino Marquee)

For Pride Month, thanks to Kino Lorber's Kino Marquee for offering virtual theater release of handsome restorations of three 1930's German gay-related films deemed to be "pioneers of queer cinema." They will be available on virtual theater via cinemas across the U.S. starting June 12, 2020 (Laemmle Theaters, Los Angeles), and including that frequent sponsor of such releases, Film Forum in New York, from July 3. (Ticket purchases help support theaters while they are closed.)

The three films are:

MICHAEL (Carl Theodore Dreyer 1924), silent.
MÄDCHEN IN UNIFORM (Leontine Sagan 1931), sound.
VICTOR AND VICTORIA/VIKTOR UND VIKTORIA (Reinhold Schünzel 1933), sound.
