Egyptian Theatre
Based on the novel by lesbian Patricia Highsmith, starring bi actor Farley Granger (who came out in his 2007 memoir), this Hitchcock thriller is hardly subtle--with its queer-coded villain serving as a doppleganger for everything our meek protagonist wishes he could be.
Having met on a train, a smooth-talking psychotic socialite shares his theory on how two complete strangers can get away with murder to an amateur tennis player — a theory he plans to test out.

Laemmle Royal
Filmmaker Julie Rubio and co-producer Blake Wellen
With her distinctive high-gloss sensual nudes and cooly elegant portraits of high society during the Jazz Age, Polish-Jewish artist Tamara de Lempicka (1894-1980) helped define the Art Deco style and the glamour and transgressive vitality of post-WWI Paris. Feminist, style icon, and bisexual libertine, Lempicka combined cubism, classicism, and surrealism to reinvent the female figure, not as an object but as the protagonist.
