We Love Judy Garland
40 years after her death why is she still such a gay icon?
Forty years ago Judy Garland visited the NFT just months before she died. To mark this anniversary programmers Emma Smart and Brian Robinson ask - just what is the enduring appeal of Judy Garland to lesbians and gay men? What's the lesbian reading of The Wizard of Oz? Is there more to it than just being a "friend of Dorothy"?
Featuring a wealth of clips from some of her best known films we explore the phenomenon of Judy Garland and her extraordinary appeal. Bring along your own memories of Judy to share, and prepare to wallow in some musical delights.
This screening is preceded by some favourite songs courtesy of the London Gay Men's Chorus.
