About
Screening at Logan Center for the Arts November 6 at 7 PM. Listed on Logan Center for the Arts's official calendar.
This screening reaches beyond the familiar postwar avant-garde canon to show how gay men used home movies and ambitious amateur productions to picture intimacy, friendship, community, camp, and perseverance at mid-century. Go for a rare six-film program, including recently rediscovered work, introduced by curator Hugo Ljungbäck.
What to expect
Set aside the full three-hour window for a curated screening rather than a drop-in exhibition. Start in the Logan Center Screening Room at 7pm for Hugo Ljungbäck's introduction, then follow six films made between 1947 and 1962, from the 12-minute Vallejo through the 50-minute Camille and the closing Always on Sunday. The program is best suited to viewers interested in queer cinema, amateur filmmaking, camp, and film history. The University lists the general public among the intended audiences.
