CITY OF LOST SOULS: Join us this Pride season for a screening of the outrageous cult musical CITY OF LOST SOULS (1983; German: Stadt Der Verlorenen Seelen). Directed by the late, great Rosa Von Praunheim, this gem stars legendary entertainer and entrepreneur Angie Stardust alongside punk royalty Jayne County and a cavalcade of queers and outsiders largely playing versions of themselves, eccentric American expats living in West Berlin. An inspiration for Hedwig and the Angry Inch, City of Lost Souls combines the camp glam musicality of a Rocky Horror with moments of slapstick comedy and surprising sincerity and tenderness. Come out to see transsexuals working in a burger joint, occult orgies, German spoke with a thick California accent, raps about androgyny, and disco erotic circus acts! All that and a special Pride preshow with the Media Meltdown squad. And you know what that means… be prepared to commit some gay crimes! See you this June in the City of Lost Souls!

Museo de la Noche (with LIVE DRAG)
F.A.G. Archive presents: MUSEO DE LA NOCHE (plus LIVE DRAG) At the end of the 1960s, Argentine artist Leandro Katz participated in “Theatre of the Ridiculous”, an eccentric group linked to New York’s queer underground. This film-essay moves between archives, testimonies, and spectres of the past that question the present. Photography, film, video, and sound intertwine to approach, if only in brief flashes, that mythical past and raise questions about time, art, sexuality, death, and cinema.

Pete Seeger: Down by the Riverside
In the 1960s, the American folk singer Pete Seeger devised an extraordinary plan: he built a 106-foot sailboat to save the polluted Hudson River. Down by the Riverside follows the unlikely story of the Clearwater, a boat that launched a movement. An intimate portrait of Pete, his wife Toshi, and the grassroots community they anchored for over 40 years, the film takes the audience on a musical and nautical odyssey, showing how an unconventional campaign to save a beloved American waterway prompted a green revolution. The tale of the Clearwater is a parable for our time, offering hope for a fractured nation and revealing how participatory imagination can solve environmental problems and transform how we relate not only to the earth but also to one another.
