Summary
This spectacular showcase of vintage movie trailers offers a crash course in lesbian, gay, bi and transgender (LGBT) movie history and a colorful look at nearly every major mainstream queer-themed film produced between 1953 and 1977! Archivist Jenni Olson is one of the world's leading experts on LGBT film history - curated from her private collection of rare original 35mm coming attractions trailers, Homo Promo has entertained audiences at LGBT film festivals around the world offering a campy cavalcade of coming attractions. Please note: The condition of these original 35mm archival prints varies - enjoy the wear and tear and rest assured that they have now all been donated to the Outfest/UCLA Legacy Project for LGBT Film Preservation where they are now being properly cared for..."A complex, funny and compelling social history. Homo Promo demonstrates that the coming attractions are often not only the best part of the movies, but the most enlightening.".-Liz Galst, Boston Phoenix.."Titillating, funny and ironic." -Jim Farber, New York Daily News
