APRIL21: COLBURN + GALLAGHER + GEISER + QUILLIAN +
For the second of our SisPics diptych, AND to close our animation double-header, we’ve assembled a veritable mothership of animators–almost all women—making this showcase a regular on OC calendars! Featured is the West Coast debut of Martha Colburn’s Rotterdam-selected Western Wilds, her account of Karl May–the German writer who made the Western novel a fixture on European bookshelves–that turns into an auto-bio revelation of Martha’s own upbringing as a hick kid surrounded by guns. ALSO premiering are Kathleen Quillian’s (in person) Confidence Game, Ellie Vanderlip’s (in person) Egg Tree, Kelly Gallagher’s Your Gossip, Salise Hughes’ Eldorado, Leslie Supnet’s The Peak Experience (US Premiere), Abbey Luck’s It’s the Dsytopian Future, and the recent Silent Sister by none other than Janie Geiser! PLUS chestnuts from Helen Hill, Sally Cruikshank, and Mary Ellen Bute…and a couple from the boys–Ben Popp’s Sexy Noir and Winston Hacking/Andy Shauf’s The Worst in You.

Back by popular demand Hanky Code The Movie with special short film Cruising Elsewhere preceding. Bringing Queer Sexy back to San Francisco.

Cruising Elsewhere
Whatever happened to Wohler Beach? Oral histories and spectral pornography resurrect memories of a once legendary Russian River
gay beach in this sexy short. Dir. Ryan White 13 Min.

Hanky Code The Movie
Before Internet dating and hookup apps, The Handkerchief code was largely used by gay men in the 1970’s to distinguish sexual preferences and fetishes in gay clubs and on the streets of places like San Francisco and New York. In Hanky Code: The Movie, Periwinkle Cinema, San Francisco’s queer experimental film collective brings Queer and Trans filmmakers across a spectrum of genres, styles, genders, and locations to dissect the code in this epic anthology feature comprised of 25 short films! Each filmmaker or film making team tells a story of a different color/fetish of the code. Films range from narrative to experimental to erotic and animated, with many films redefining the traditional code with colors, patterns, and fetishes up to creative interpretation of the artist. 84 Min

GOAT FAMILY + JEREMY ROURKE + 99 HOOKER +
Our LIVE A/V series returns with a trio of electrifying performances that fuse spoken/sung-word with (mostly animated) movies.Jeremy Rourke makes good on his“i’ll be around” promise with a loop back through our venue, yodeling amidst an ensemble of energized stop-motion works, fork-plucked harp melodies, and a world premiere live performance/animation. The Goat Family do-si-do’s beneath a dynamic screen, these much-loved local folks humming and strumming in experimental Jug Band style. Flying all the way in from New York, the veteran synth-player/poet 99 Hooker closes the show with a repertoire of his most obsessive pixilations, his Reanimatrix avatar dream come true, re-animating and re-mixing critters. AND three new Karaokes by Bryan Boyce and Adrianne Finelli (in-person).
