    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 MovieBefore 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 filmmaking 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 MinFilms Include: Black – Flagging Black by Ivy Dykes Grey- Grey Is For Bondage by Lorin MurphyLight Blue- White Stripes by Lex Non-Scripta Blue Silver by Marie Walz – Light Blue by Ricky Lee – Teal Blue by Kolmel W – Love and Alex Albers -Red by Caitlin Rose Sweet and André

    When artist Mildred Howard, daughter of legendary Berkeley activist Mable Howard, loses her South Berkeley home due to soaring rental prices, it costs Berkeley a piece of its history and its legacy. This story of an African American family illuminates both personal
    power to create possibilities in adversity, and the broader issue of gentrification and a housing crisis that threatens a community’s diversity.
