Out Takes

Camp as Christmas!

Arts, TV & Film

For this Out Takes program, we got into the festive spirit and looked at films that are, literally, camp as Christmas: from mumblecore gay farces like MAKE THE YULETIDE GAY to camp classics pulled from the vaults – MEET ME IN ST LOUIS, WHITE CHRISTMAS and RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER. We also hear from ‘How To Be Gay’ author David Halperin about why films about Christmas feature so significantly in gay men’s culture. Have some eggnog on standby – this is a very festive Out Takes special!

Essential viewing: Meet Me in St Louis (1944, Dir. Vincente Minnelli)

Hungry for more: Make the Yuletide Gay (2009, Dir. Rob Williams)
