Additional Information
30 years before the Mayans predicted the world would end on December 20, 2012. MAYA was released on May 28, 1982.
It opened at a small upper eastside theater in Manhattan. The story was a FAME copy mixed with spirituality and set in a fictional Manhattan fashion school rather than a performing arts one. Terribly reviewed, it closed in one week .
The screenwriter and star -Berta Dominguez D. was the wife of the famed Alexander Salkind and mother of Ilya Salkind-who together produced the 1978 SUPERMAN among other blockbusters.

MAYA was produced by A Wing and a Prayer productions, but was actually distributed buy a major studio under a subdistributor they created in 1968 for the release of an explicit film about lesbianism. The company released only 2 other films under this banner, before ressurecting it for MAYA. What is the major studio and its subdistributor? What was the groundbreaking lesbiam themed film released in 1968 and garnered one Oscar nomination?
Below are 3 other films that the distributor was scared to release because of violence or sexuality. Name the major studio that backed them:

SUSPIRIA ....International Classics

EVIL DEAD 2-DEAD BY DAWN ..... Rosebud

DeSADE................Transcontinental
