—Queering the Closet
In this groundbreaking and controversial comedy, two youngmen pretend to be gay in order to avoid the draft. Danny (Coughlin) and Elliot (Casey) camp it up in front of an army recruiter, Dixon, who shadows the pair when they return to their apartment to celebrate with their girlfriends. When they move into an apartment complex that caters to homosexuals, situations spiral wildly as they expand their ruse, much to the confusion of family and friends.
Join us for a Q&A with Queer film historian and programmer Elizabeth Purchell following the screening!
