Broken Bone Bathtub has kept Siobhán O'Loughlin, an immersive artist performing in other peoples' bathrooms, on the road for six years. As her final tour of this intimate, interactive solo show draws to a close, she contemplates how she will sustain her life as an independent artist in the years ahead. “It feels like you’re watching a story from Siobhán,” an audience member says, “But it’s almost like you’re entering a story of yourself, too.” Broken Bone Bathtub documents the healing nature of immersive art, juxtaposed with the ever-rising challenges that independent artists face in a compromising capitalist landscape. A special Q+A Talkback session with Siobhán O'Loughlin (Director) and Elaine Blank (Bay Area BBB Producer & Immersive Enthusiast), moderated by Rishikesh Tirumalai (Ritual Performance Artist & Emergence Wizard) will take place following the screening.

This revolutionary DIY parody film and hilarious reimagining of the classic autobiographical coming-of-age story follows an unconfident, closeted trans girl as she moves to Gotham City to make it big as a comedian by joining the cast of UCB Live - a government-sanctioned late night sketch show in a world where comedy has been outlawed. As mainstream success eludes our heroine, leading her to unite with a ragtag team of rejects, misfits, and a certain love interest named Mister J, "Joker the Harlequin" is born again as a confident (and psychotic) joker on a collision course with the city's fascist caped crusader. Vats of feminizing chemicals, sexy cartoon interludes, scarecrow psychiatrists, CGI Lorne Michaels, and psychedelic gender dysphoria all play supporting roles. Helmed by writer/director/editor/star Vera Drew and using her own life experiences as a basis for the film, THE PEOPLE'S JOKER is a deeply personal journey that's as much documentary as it is parody.
