THE ROYAL ROAD

2015. USA.

 Director: Jenni Olson

Writer: Jenni Olson

Narrator: Jenni Olson

In attendance at the Harvard Film Archive (HFA) from Nov 15 -19, queer film historian and filmmaker Jenni Olson presents a very special two-part series. The first part showcases a selection of amazing archival 35mm, 16mm and Super 8 LGBTQ film prints from the HFA’s Jenni Olson Queer Film Collection—ranging from vintage feature films to ephemeral educational shorts to classic movie trailers to home movies. Secondly, the HFA is especially pleased to present Olson’s two feature-length essay films: The Joy of Life (2005) and The Royal Road (2015), which both premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, as well as her celebrated shorts Blue Diary (1997) and 575 Castro St. (2009).

You can find THE ROYAL ROAD streaming on Tubi (Canada/USA/Australia/Mexico) and Kanopy (USA) and for rent/purchase through AppleTV & Amazon. More information at BUTCH.ORG
