Vito Russo may be best known today as the author of the seminal book THE CELLULOID CLOSET, which examines the history of depictions of homosexuality in Hollywood films. Russo, however, had a long career as a film historian, archivist, and activist. GME President Jon Gartenberg worked with Russo at MoMA, and later appeared in the 2011 HBO documentary about his life, titled VITO. Gartenberg recalls: “What struck me about Vito was that he appeared to be completely comfortable in his own skin, which undoubtedly enabled him to be at the forefront of gay activism.”
