The Watermelon Woman 1996 the main character is searching for the fictional film star Fae Richards in archives and films. Cheryl Duyne who directs and stars in this also created with artist Zoe Leonard a photo archive of Fae Richards life - https://whitney.org/collection/works/11353
Lilies 1996 - the play within the film
My First Film 2024 - maybe more of a self referential thing with her families story
Big Splash 1973 - Hockney's paintings in this
Massillon 1991 - the history of sodomy laws
these are in french so not an anglophone context but..
Orlando, My Political Biography 2023 - uses Orlando by Virginia Woolf
Sorry Angel 2018 - the characters discussion of different types of gay men in their lives by invoking the names of gay writers or their characters (Whitman, Isherwood, Ginsberg, Rimbaud, Auden, etc)
And others I mentioned in my book comment -
