  • OTHER CINEMA: PRELINGER’s SORTING THE ARCHIVES + YOUR FILM LIBRARY+

    Arguably America’s most enlightened intelligence on Archival Film, we’re honored to host this crown jewel of the SF-based Internet Archive, Mr. Rick Prelinger, with another relaxed exchange on intellectual history and its easy and useful access.  His talk turns away from the idea of “repositories of the past” towards understanding them as pointers to the future. And on that note: Here Comes the Librarians, our activist cultural saviors fer sure, with a half-hour opener on the SF Public Library’s film collection! YOW!! We’re in for some City-owned 16mm treats, plus a marvelous personal-research story on the Ghost of Charles S. Capp (Street). And HEY!: Bring books to give away at our annual Potlatch, and so to take Others away!! *$8 if book-bound or $9 if not.

  • Periwinkle Cinema: annual TDOR

    queer_trans_anarchy_flag_by_0x786e6f72-d7xjk7iThe Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) serves several purposes. It raises public awareness of hate crimes against transgender people, an action that current media doesn’t perform. Day of Remembrance publicly mourns and honors the lives of our brothers and sisters who might otherwise be forgotten. Through the vigiwe express love and respect for our people in the face of national indifference and hatred. Day of Remembrance reminds non-transgender people that we are their sons, daughters, parents, friends and lovers. Day of Remembrance gives our allies a chance to step forward with us and stand in vigil, memorializing those of us who’ve died by anti-transgender violence
