American avant-garde; and two works from the mid-2000s: Tomonari Nishikawa’s 
frenetic single-frame city portrait, Market Street, and animator Janie Geiser’s 
Terrace 49. The program is bookended with Valentin De Las Sierras and Mujer De

FRED HALSTED RETROSPECTIVE
An autobiographical trip through the sexual underworld of Los Angeles in the 
early 1970s, Fred Halsted’s L.A. PLAYS ITSELF is perhaps the crowning 
achievement of queer hardcore. The film follows Halsted himself, roaming and 
fucking his way across city. At once languidly pensive and joltingly violent, 
the film combines graphic sex, atmospheric exposition, and scenes of intense 
BDSM. Early screenings sparked protestors from the right and the left, and 
inspired Salvador Dali to proclaim, “new information for me.“ Accompanied by 
the rarely screened SEX GARAGE (shot in six hours before the release of L.A. 
Plays Itself), SEX TOOL, and A NIGHT AT HALSTED'S, this screening will take 
place at Eagle LA, a location with deep connections to the city’s leather and 
BDSM scene. Fred Halsted was an American gay pornographic film director, actor, 
escort, publisher, and sex club owner. His films were the first X Rated 
acquisitions made by The Museum of Modern Art. Eagle LA’s location has served 
as a gay bar for 44 years and it’s mission is to uphold the leather, uniform 
and fetish traditions in Los Angeles. Sex Garage, 35mm on dv, 34 minutes, 1972 
LA Plays Itself, 16mm on dv, 55min., 1972 Sex Tool, 35mm on dv, 57min., 1975 A 
Night at Halsted’s, 35mm on dv, 76min., 1982 Curated by Ryan Linkof $6 after

TRANS FILM: UNEARTHED
FRANKIE SYMONDS IN PERSON! GUEST CURATED AND PRESENTED BY DEVIN UTAH These 
pieces explore personal narrative and reclaim the parameters of video. 
Experimental world-building occurs through private ritual and shared 
experience. Geo Wyeth QUARTERED 2013-14, 30 min, digital "In QUARTERED, the 
artist journeys to rural South Carolina, to the hometown of their ancestor J. 
Marion Sims, a doctor who performed horrific gynecological experiments on 
enslaved women. Wyeth blends history and mythology, taking the form of a golden 
shard of light, a character from a tale told by their mother, to reckon with 
their own biracial identity and family history." -PELICAN BOMB Frankie Symonds 
THE GREEN WARDROBE 2017, 44 min, digital A hybrid of psychodrama and essay film 
that considers a series of recurring dreams that feature a book titled "The 
Green Wardrobe." Through various attempts at trying to figure out what type of 
significance a book that only exists in my dream might have for me, as well as 
its potential to be exploited as a starting point for a personal mythology, 
ideas are formed then fall apart, revealing more of the same thing that is 
somehow completely different.

DREAM RECONSTRUCTIONS, BY MIKLOS ERDéLY
In collaboration with the Wende Museum and the Getty Research Institute Miklós 
Erdély was a Hungarian architect, artist, writer, and filmmaker who in the 
1960s-1980s became a key figure in Budapest's neo-avant-garde artistic circles. 
When the renowned Balázs Béla Studio created an opportunity for 
non-professional filmmakers to make films, Erdély was among the artists who 
seized it. Erdély's Dream Reconstructions attempts to represent the 
unrepresentable -- in three different sequences, we see three individuals 
trying to reconstruct their dreams. The film probes the relationship between 
personal experience and interpersonal communication, mobilizing the tools of 
cinema and using experimental editing techniques to mimic the workings of the 
subconscious. The screening of this film coincides with the exhibition Promote, 
Tolerate, Ban: Art and Culture in Cold War Hungary, co-presented by the Wende 
Museum and the Getty Research Institute and on view at the Wende Museum until 
August 26. For more information on the exhibition and other events accompanying 
it, visit www.wendemuseum.org <http://www.wendemuseum.org>  Tickets: $10 
general; $6 for students/seniors; free for Filmforum members. Available in 
advance from Brown Paper Tickets at https://erdely.bpt.me or at the door.

DELIVER
by Jennifer Montgomery. "DELIVER is Montgomery's all-female reworking of John 
Boorman's classic 1972 film DELIVERANCE (based on James Dickey's novel). More 
than simply a gender reversal, however, the film raises complicated and 
provocative questions about hegemonic structures of gender and issues of female 
homosocial violence. Moreover, by casting well-known experimental filmmakers 
Peggy Ahwesh, Jackie Goss, Su Friedrich, Meredith Root, and Montgomery herself 
as semi-fictional versions of themselves, DELIVER also examines the often 
difficult position of feminist experimental filmmaking within the academic art 
world." -UC SANTA CRUZ FILM AND DIGITAL MEDIA

Los Angeles, California: Dirty Looks

7PM, Mercado La Paloma, 3655 S Grand Ave #240
THE NIGHT IS YOUNG
Ramon Novarro, an immigrant from Durango, Mexico, rose to fame as a silent 
film-era leading man and sex symbol throughout the 1920s and 1930s. He is now 
mostly remembered for the grisly homicide that ended his life at the hands of 
two male prostitutes in the 1960s, a fact which has obscured his achievements 
as a film, stage, and television actor, and his legacy as a queer and brown 
silver screen pioneer. In this cultural moment of heightened attention to the 
equitable representation of historically oppressed communities in mainstream 
Hollywood, THE NIGHT IS YOUNG invites attendees to revisit the legacy of queer 
and immigrant performers of color at the infancy of Hollywood blockbuster 
filmmaking. The Night is Young, a musical romantic comedy, features Novarro in 
his best light in one of MGM’s first “talkies.” Mercado La Paloma, located in 
the historically divested Figueroa Corridor of South Los Angeles, is a vibrant 
community gathering space housed in a revitalized garment factory and modelled 
after the bustling markets which local immigrant residents left behind in their 
home countries. Conceived in 1999 as an experiment in community revitalization, 
it provides economic and artistic opportunities for local residents and seeks 
to support and showcase the unique heritage of the area’s residents to the 
broader LA community. Dudley Murphy, The Night is Young, 35mm on DVD, 81 min, 
1935 Curated by Young Joon Kwak & Marvin Astorga

Los Angeles, California: Dirty Looks

8PM, The Black Cat (formerly Black Cat Tavern, Le Bar), 3909 Sunset Blvd
MYRA BRECKINRIDGE
One of the most relentlessly queer films ever produced by a major studio, MYRA 
BRECKINRIDGE brought together icons of Old and New Hollywood – Mae West, Raquel 
Welch and Farrah Fawcett – in a story about transgender identity that is at 
once irreverent, outrageous, and quaintly inept. Trigger Warning. Penned by 
legendary author and cultural critic Gore Vidal, MYRA BRECKINRIDGE is a 
merciless display of hard-core camp. The film offers a satirical portrait of 
Hollywood at the end of the 1960s, caught in the transition away from the 
manufactured glamour of the Golden Age and into a sexually liberated Age of 
Aquarius. Written at a moment in which queer communities around the United 
States were fighting for equality and greater visibility, the film represented 
homosexuality and transgender issues in startlingly new and provocative ways. 
Often considered one of the worst films ever made, one contemporaneous reviewer 
called it “an incoherent tale of sodomy, emasculation, autoeroticism and plain 
bad taste.” One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. This event takes 
place in a building that holds an important place in LA’s queer history. The 
Black Cat Tavern was the site of one of the first uprisings of LGBTQ people in 
the country in 1967. email i...@dirtylooksla.org <mailto:i...@dirtylooksla.org>

7:30, 3727 NE 11th Avenue
A NIGHT WITH DANNY LYON
Artist Vanessa Renwick (of The Oregon Department of Kick Ass) and PMOMA present 
photographer/writer/filmmaker Danny Lyon and two of his films: WILLIE and 
MURDERERS. A Q&A with Lyon will follow the films. A seminal activist artist 
working in the style of New Journalism, Lyon transitioned from photographing 
civil rights events in the ‘60s to making in-depth photographic studies and 
documentary films. His work always telegraphs a deep sense of empathy for 
outlaws, outcasts, and underdogs staking their claims at the fringes of 
society. This screening pairs two films: WILLIE (1985, 82 minutes) profiles his 
friend Willie Jaramillo and his repeated tangles with the law in Bernalillo, 
New Mexico; MURDERERS (2005, 30 minutes), shares the shocking and surprisingly 
vulnerable stories of five murderers in three different states.

Julie Murray, Jodie Mack, Lewis Klahr, Scott Stark, Tomonari Nishikawa, and Tom

4PM, Mandrake Bar, 2692 La Cienega Blvd
THE PIRATE AND THE MGM FREED UNIT
THE PIRATE, which stars Judy Garland was a sensational flop for the studio (and 
a loose basis for the Neely O’Hara breakdown Western in VALLEY OF THE DOLLS), 
was produced by the MGM Freed unit, the production team responsible for hits 
ranging from THE WIZARD OF OZ, SINGING IN THE RAIN to GIGI and whose 
embellished costumes and scenery offered an early gay codified theatricality. 
Of note are two particularly theatrical dance numbers performed by Gene Kelly. 
There is an interesting backstory to the film’s self-censorship of black 
entertainers – a part was written and then dropped for Lena Horne, and a scene 
shot with The Nicholas Brothers, who were a huge dance sensation at Harlem’s 
Cotton Club, but was cut from Southern presentations of the film. The outré 
aspects of the film’s homosexual production unit (which includes the famed 
homosexual director, Minnelli) proved covert enough to skirt by while the 
excised or barely permitted integration of its performers proves an 
interesting, if problematic understanding of counter-culture in the late 1940s. 
Mandrake opened as a haven to the gallery boom that erupted in Culver City in 
the early 2000s. Its spartan decor easily accommodated screenings like Hedi El 
Kholti’s (editor of theory publisher, Semiotext(e)) Deleuze from A-Z series, or 
my first Los Angeles screening, in point of fact. Vincente Minnelli, The 
Pirate, 35mm on dv, 102 min, 1948 Curated and with introduction by Bradford 
Nordeen

THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS / FILM WORK BY JOANNA MARGARET PAUL
"All my films, poems, paintings play more or less between inner and outer 
events" - Joanna Margaret Paul. JOANNA MARGARET PAUL (1955-2003) was a New 
Zealand artist who pioneered interdisciplinary practice, working prolifically 
across the mediums of film, poetry and painting. Often shot and edited in 
camera, her film work chronicled motherhood and domestic life (Task, Napkins), 
the worn traces of urban settlement (Port Chalmers Cycle) and the persistent 
presence of the natural world. Other works such as Sisterhood portrayed the 
life of other female artists identified with the 1970s womens movement in New 
Zealand. Curated by Peter Todd, Through a Different Lens / Film Work by Joanna 
Margaret Paul is the first collection of Joanna Margaret Paul’s moving image 
work to make Paul’s work available to an international audience. In Todd’s 
accompanying essay he places her work in the lineage of film-makers Margaret 
Tait and Robert Bresson, and painter Frances Hodgkins. Through a Different Lens 
/ Film Work by Joanna Margaret Paul contains 13 works shot in the 1970s that 
have been transferred from 8mm and 16mm film to high definition video. ‘Paul’s 
films were made in relative artistic isolation from avant-garde film discourse 
in the mid-1970s, but are rooted in an acute feminist politics that focuses on 
concerns of shared female social spaces and everyday domestic situations.’

FERNANDO LLANOS: MATRIA
Los Angeles premiere! Fernando Llanos in person! Antolin Jiménez fought 
alongside Pancho Villa, represented the state of Oaxaca in Congress, and was 
the president of the National Charro Association. In 1942 as rumors spread of a 
Nazi invasion of Mexico Jimenez formed and trained a group of 100 000 fighters 
to repel the attack. Seventy years later Jimenez’s grandson Fernando Llanos 
brings us the film Matria tracing the director’s quest to understand more about 
his mysterious grandfather and the culture of charros in the mid-20th century. 
Deeply rooted family secrets are unearthed in the process and what begins as a 
character profile becomes an entangled story of family lore and a window into 
the history of modern Mexico. “An irreverent, courageous and moving portrait.”
