Fandor Celebrates Pride Month With a Spotlight on LGBTQ+ Cinema


Cinedigm 
announced today that Fandor will be celebrating Pride Month in June with an exciting line-up of LQBTQ+ cinema.

 

Ranging from documentaries to charming comedies and critically acclaimed titles, Pride Month on Fandor will feature Queen of Lapa (2020) from directors Carolina Monnerat and Theodore Collatos. The film follows Luana Muniz, one of Brazil’s most recognizable transgender personalities, shaping a new reality in her hostel by providing a safe working environment in the dangerous neighborhood of Lapa in Rio de Janeiro.

 

Featured Fandor films in June will also include Xavier Dolan’s award-winning Laurence Anyways (2012), following the epic 10-year journey and transition when Laurence tells his girlfriend Fred that he wants to become a woman. A Very Natural Thing (1974), considered to be the first feature film on the gay experience made by an out-of-the-closet gay man to receive commercial distribution, will also be available to stream on Fandor in June.

 

Fandor features thousands of independent films, documentaries, international titles, and classics on web, iOS, Android, Roku, Comcast Xfinity X1 and Xfinity Flex, YouTube TV, and Amazon.
