NYAB Event - "Queer and Unavailable" Film Screening

"Queer and Unavailable" Film Screening

This event has ended.
At 92YTribeca Art
Media: Film

Just in time for Gay Pride Month, 92YTribeca presents QUEER/ART/FILM, a new series of all things hybrid and poly-sexual. Curated by Butt Magazine contributing editor Adam Baran and filmmaker Ira Sachs, the series invites some of the most exciting, innovative (and homosexual) artists from the dance/performance/film/visual and literary arts to present and discuss their favorite films, in rare prints, on the big screen.

The series asks the question: How does film create a link from one queer generation to the next, from John Kelly to Jean Cocteau, from 8 1/2 to Paris is Burning, from Marlon Riggs to Chantal Akerman? Join us every Thursday in June and bi-weekly in the months to follow, to explore these unexpected pathways from one artist to the next.

Queer Unavailable

A lot of the best queer film content is not available to the general public. Banished either by conspiracy or oversight, this content demands to be seen – so see it now! Presented by writer/performer Kenny Melman, who warns, “We can't say what will be shown but expect TV specials, gay episodes of TV shows and Red Foxx.”
