Come celebrate lesbian visibility week with us at the Roxie this Sunday!!
Lesbians didnât always get to see themselves on screen, but between Stonewall, the feminist movement, and the experimental cinema of the 1970âs, they built visibility and transformed the social imagination about queerness. Filmmakers Barbara Hammer, Su Friedrich, Rose Troche, Cheryl Dunye, Yoruba Richen, Desiree Akhavan, Vicky Du, Jenni Olson, and film critic B. Ruby Rich, among many others, share moving â and often hilarious â stories from their lives to discuss how theyâve expressed queer identity through film.
Stop by Mother and show your ticket for $1 off of drinks the day of the screening!
The first of our New Queer Cinema x Trans New Weird double feature program is screening @ybca this Saturday!!!
Who owns our image? Under late-stage capitalism, everything is propertyâfrom your shoes to your phone to your identity. So why not steal the classics? (You couldnât save enough anyway.) Todd Haynesâ Poison (1991) and Vera Drewâs The Peopleâs Joker (2022) twist the canon of beloved American narrative conventions into organisms that reflect defiant, new ways to represent queer life.
Poison reimagines and recontextualizes three classic genresâthe prison film, the monster film, and the broadcast news magazineâthrough a queer lens. The Peopleâs Joker reclaims the copyrighted characters of the Batman comics to redraw (and redraw, and redraw) a trans womanâs origin story as pop mythology. In an attempt to reclaim ownership of their images, these two films amount to a sum greater than their parts.
Intro by Gabi Grossman! Donât miss it! Tickets in our bio!
Frameline and YBCA are proud to present: New Queer Cinema x Trans New Weird.
This double feature program celebrates a groundbreaking new film movement, the Trans New Weird. Like their New Queer Cinema forebears, filmmakers in the Trans New Weird do not share a specific aesthetic mode. They embrace formal and structural playfulness that often defy conventional production models to evoke questions of embodiment, ownership, subjectivity, and dissociation. In doing so, they rewild trans cinema.
Donât miss out on these illuminating pairings where you can rewatch old favorites and discover new ones all at once! Tickets available at YBCA.org or in the link in our bio to our calendar.
