Featured Fandor films in June will also include Xavier Dolan’s award-winning Laurence Anyways (2012), following the epic 10-year journey and transition when Laurence tells her girlfriend Fred that she is a transgender woman. A Very Natural Thing (1974), considered to be the first feature film on the gay experience made by an out-of-the-closet gay man to receive commercial distribution, will also be available to stream on Fandor in June.
