Highly recommended: Frank Simon's 1968 documentary The Queen, a history-making documentary, about the 1967 Miss All-America Camp Beauty Pageant, that's also an analytical vision of how history is made; at @movingimagenyc.bsky.social at 3, in 35mm.:

The film, directed by Frank Simon, centers on the Miss All-America Camp Beauty Pageant and suggests a tolerance of queer life that was in fact unofficial, tenuous, and illusory.
