Dear Laemmle Fans,
I’m truly overwhelmed by the positive responses I’ve seen in our community to the BLM protests. The awakening it seems to have inspired in the previously silent American majority is a reminder of our collective strength. And with the arrival of June and LGBTQ Pride Month, I’m also reminded of another landmark occasion in the history of civil rights progress in America: the Stonewall Riots of 1969.
To honor the moment, we’re offering a diverse selection of new virtual theatrical releases, including a modern twist on the parenting drama, a closer look at religious intolerance to homosexuality, and an amusing documentary about the cult following behind the erotic drama Showgirls. There’s also three newly remastered versions of pioneering queer films that helped pave the way for greater inclusiveness and representation in today’s cinema (available as a combined rental beginning Friday 6/12).
All the best,
Greg Laemmle
