Next month, the Criterion Channel celebrates Pride Month with a host of extraordinary queer-themed films, including a new installment of our Queersighted series focusing on taboo-breaking artists, a trio of outré underground classics from John Waters, and a restrospective dedicated to the nonfiction trailblazers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, whose films have helped bring LGBTQ stories out of the closet and into the mainstream. There’s also a spotlight on screwball great Carole Lombard, a new installment of Adventures in Moviegoing with Justin Simien, and hundredth-birthday tributes to Judy Holliday, Jane Russell, and Luis García Berlanga.
