Join the SF Democratic Socialists of America for a screening of ¡Viva 16!, with directors Tina Valentin Aguirre and Augie Robles.
¡Viva 16! documents 16th Street in the 1990s, when the area served as a mecca for the queer Latinx community. It interviews employees and patrons of the bars along that corridor, which have since closed as the Mission has been gentrified.
For decades, performance artist and writer Kate Bornstein has been exploding binaries and deconstructing gender. And, her own identity. Trans-dyke. Reluctant polyamorist. Sadomasochist. Recovering Scientologist. Pioneering Gender Outlaw. Kate Bornstein Is a Queer and Pleasant Danger, joins her on her latest tour capturing rollicking public performances and painful personal revelations as it bears witness to Kate as a trailblazing artist theorist activist who inhabits a space between male and female with wit, style, and astonishing candor. By turns meditative and playful, the film invites us on a thought provoking journey through Kate’s world to seek answers to some of life’s biggest questions.Dir. Sam Feder 72 min.
For 20 years, A.T.A.’s Open Screening has been the screening venue for short format SF Bay Area cinema artists. OS remains one of the only opportunities for emerging cinema artists to show their work on the big screen for a live SF audience, and has become a tradition among seasoned
and novice filmmakers alike.
In honor of OS’s 20th anniversary, OS producers from 1999 to 2019 are co-curating “20 Years of Open Screening,” a showcase of the best of the best from OS!
