Born in Flames
Double Feature with Stranger Inside
Hammer Museum
Set ten years after the most peaceful revolution in United States history, a revolution in which a socialist government gains power… The movie that rocked the foundations of the early Indie film world, this provocative, thrilling and still-relevant classic is a fantasy of female rebellion set in America ten years after the Second American Revolution. When Adelaide Norris, the black radical founder of the Woman’s Army, is mysteriously killed, a diverse coalition of women (across all lines of race, class and sexual preference) emerges to blow the System apart.
In near-future New York, ten years after the “social-democratic war of liberation,” diverse groups of women organize a feminist uprising as equality remains unfulfilled.
The Wizard of Oz
Vidiots Eagle Theater
What movie better deserves the "Not Queer But Queer" label? Historians may debate exactly why Judy Garland was such an icon to the gay community, but for years being a "friend of Dorothy" was code for how closeted queers could find each other. See her in this iconic role.
Young Dorothy finds herself in a magical world where she makes friends with a lion, a scarecrow and a tin man as they make their way along the yellow brick road to talk with the Wizard and ask for the things they miss most in their lives. The Wicked Witch of the West is the only thing that could stop them.
Ludwig
Academy Museum
Historical evocation of Ludwig, king of Bavaria, from his crowning in 1864 until his death in 1886, as a romantic hero. Fan of Richard Wagner, betrayed by him, in love with his cousin Elisabeth of Austria, abandoned by her, tormented by his homosexuality, he will little by little slip towards madness.
Everything Everywhere All at Once
Academy Museum
The frantic runaway train vibe of Everything Everywhere All At Once drops in and out of too many genres and ideas to be just one thing--but story of a mother reconnecting with her queer daughter is the warm heart at the center of all the madcap universe-hopping hijinks.
An aging Chinese immigrant is swept up in an insane adventure, where she alone can save what’s important to her by connecting with the lives she could have led in other universes.
