We’re cranking up the 16mm projector for another program of celluloid rarities and in honor of Pride month, we’re going queer as f@$k with Sweet 16mm: Revolutionary Queer Cinema – a program of groundbreaking and jaw-dropping short films from the 1930s – 1970s that not only challenged the norms of gender and sexuality but of form and fluidity of filmmaking, including works by Jean Genet, Barbara Hammer, Coni Beeson, James Sibley Watson, and more! Films include Jean Genet’s Un Chant D’Amour (1950), full of homoerotic visual poetry, Barbara Hammer’s Dyketactics (1974), a super fun romp of Sapphic delights, Coni Beeson’s gorgeous Unfolding (1970) merging the erotic with experimental cinema, and James Sibley Watson’s pre-code breathtaking expressionistic Lot in Sodom (1933). With a few special surprises, and a secret pre-show for the early birds. Everything screened on 16mm film featuring prints generously on loan from Canyon Cinema.
