Every third Wednesday of the month The Revival House presents the best in homo-grown cinema from decades past. Specializing in the unique, rare and obscure we screen long-forgotten Hollywood and Foreign flix, art-house hits, and erotic screen gems by directors such as Derek Jarman, Bruce La Bruce, Fred Halsted, and Robert Altman.

The series kicks off with a spectacular two-night, two-tone,  technicolor, “double-feature” in brilliant “Black” and shocking “Pink”.

Get ready for some kick-ass tranny action with the legendary Japanese film, Black Lizard (1968, Japanese w/Eng. subtitles).  Aptly dubbed “Nippon-Pop-Art-Chic”,  Black Lizard has it all – suspense, intrige, debauchery, and gorgeous gowns.  In the title role of the “Black Lizard”, tranny actress Akihiro Miwa is seductive, stunning, and dangerous. This film has rarely been screened in the U.S. but we’re bringing it to S.F. for one night only!

Doors open at 7:00.  Screening begins at 8:00. Admission is

$6.00 for single features and

$8.00 for the special, two-night “double-feature”.

When the Bolivian government, backed by Washington, attempted to eradicate coca crops, devastating the livelihood of Indigenous people who cultivate it. In response, the farmers formed a powerful union. Their leader, the Aymara Indian Evo Morales, made an historic bid for the presidency in 2005.

This lively story about geopolitics, people’s movements, Indigenous culture, and one man’s impressive determination, Cocalero closely follows Evo Morales’ election campaign—where he proposes the redistribution of wealth, renationalization of industries and legalization of coca products.

Not surprisingly, Morales’ populist platform elicits attacks from right-wing Bolivian and U.S. corporate media. But despite this demonization campaign, Morales wins by an unprecedented majority. Cocalero offers fresh insight into big political changes afoot in Latin America.  86min., 2007, Spanish w/English subtitles.
