Funeral Parade is proud to present Cruising, William Friedkin’s serial killer thriller about sadism, masochism, and sexual identity. 

There’s a killer on the loose in New York City, and he’s targeting gay men in the West Village. Fortunately for the NYPD, he’s got a type – slim, dark-haired, handsome – and officer Steve Burns (Al Pacino) fits the bill. To crack the case, Steve must journey into the city’s nocturnal underworld of S&M and leather bars, hoping to catch the killer’s eye – but will he lose himself along the way? Controversial with both straight and gay audiences upon its initial release, Friedkin’s film still retains its power to shock and unsettle 45 years later.

Funeral Parade is proud to present Sylvia Scarlett, George Cukor’s gender-bending screwball comedy starring the incomparable Katharine Hepburn.

After the death of her mother, young Sylvia Scarlett(Hepburn) leaves France with Henry (Edmund Gwenn), her ne'er-do-well father, who is trying to outrun his gambling debts. In order to avoid the suspicion that an older man and a younger women travelling together might invite, Sylvia disguises herself as a man, reinventing herself as Sylvester. Upon their arrival in England, Henry and Sylvester become partners-in-crime with Jimmy Monkley (Cary Grant), a “gentleman adventurer” and scoundrel. But what will happen when Sylvester begins falling for a dashing bohemian artist (Brian Aherne)? Though its’s playful and distinctly queer sexual politics made it “box office poison” in 1935, 90 years later this hidden gem is ripe for rediscovery as a milestone in on-screen gender nonconformity.
