“Queens at Heart” is a rare look at the lives of four trans women and drag ball culture in mid-1960s New York.
Thanks to LGBTQ film historian and archivist Jenni Olson’s discovery of this long-obscure film, which was released in 1967, “Queens at Heart” was restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive in 2009 as part of the Outfest UCLA Legacy Project. The project is an ongoing effort to preserve and showcase LGBTQ moving image media and is the largest publicly accessible collection of its kind.
