Crofton Library's Queer Representation in Hollywood Films Series: All About Eve
2023-05-25 19:00
Join us as we explore the different ways queer communities have been represented throughout the history of Hollywood cinema.
Each week we will analyze a different Hollywood film from different decades and the way they represented queer individuals. We’ll begin with an intro about the film’s production, director, stars, and its cultural impact on queer and non-queer cinema, then we’ll watch the film and finish off with a group discussion about our reactions.
All About Eve (1950)
Written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, All About Eve was originally coded as a Cold War era cautionary tale about lesbians undermining and destabilizing the heteronormative structure of society. The film follows aging Broadway star Margo Channing and her obsessed fan Eve Harrington who would do anything it takes to become Margo. Since its release this film has been reclaimed by the queer community as a wonderful examination of the effects of repressed desire. Giving us famous lines such as “Buckle up your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night.” With Oscar winning performances, All About Eve is a must-see classic.

Crofton Library's Queer Representation in Hollywood Films Series: Psycho
2023-05-30 19:00
Since its inception Hollywood has attempted to include representation of queer identities. Sometimes the representation has been inaccurate and harmful, and sometimes it has been empowering and life affirming. Join us as we explore the different ways queer communities have been represented throughout the history of Hollywood cinema.
Each week we will analyze a different Hollywood film from different decades and the way they represented queer individuals. We’ll begin with an intro about the film’s production, director, stars, and its cultural impact on queer and non-queer cinema, then we’ll watch the film and finish off with a group discussion about our reactions.
Psycho (1960)
Perhaps one of the most well-known thriller films of all time, Psycho is also responsible for introducing several controversial and harmful troupes of trans people into cinema. We’ll examine the way Hitchcock preyed on mainstream misconceptions to create his infamous serial killer Norman Bates, as well as how the tropes introduced in Psycho plague Hollywood to this day.

Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)
Everything Everywhere All at Once is a complex and nuanced exploration of identity and queerness. This absurdist comedy turned martial arts film turned family drama, follows three generations of a Chinese-American family as they discover a powerful being from a parallel universe is threatening to destroy the metaverse. Challenging all the troupes and stereotypes of both queer and Asian people in Hollywood films, as well as presenting one of the most dynamic and emotional mother/daughter relationships in recent film memory, Everything Everywhere All at Once blazes a trail towards a future of genre anarchy that asserts queerness in every frame.
