Seats are assigned on a first come, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. Embark on a mesmerizing journey through a collection of short films that celebrate the resilience, creativity and diverse expressive practices of creation within the queer community. Follow Felicia Oh, a Taiwanese American drag queen in NYC, as she navigates the vibrant drag scene; join Saturn Risin9, a queer performance artist, returning to the Bay Area to share a poetic tale of healing and joy; immerse in the boundless beauty of bodies in water through Shoog McDaniel's transformative lens, celebrating expansive affirmation of all bodies in northern Florida; experience Fran's rhythmically chaotic visit to his hometown in a narrative of memory and desire; and explore the lives of five trans and gender-expansive artists in Mexico City, captured through intimate Super 8 footage and 16mm film, showcasing their collective freedom and artistic expression. Each film offers a unique perspective, weaving together stories of self-discovery, community and the power of living authentically. These films center the creative process as an empathy engine, inviting audiences to travel deeply into affirmations of self and connections to community and culture. Through the art of storytelling, dance, photography and performance, they offer a profound exploration of identity and belonging, highlighting the transformative power of creativity in forging connections and understanding. By immersing viewers in the personal journeys of these artists, the films encourage a deeper appreciation of the art of being and becoming through art, unity and solidarity within the queer community and beyond. —Queer Rhapsody Senior Programmer Martine McDonald Location: Billy Wilder Theater

Baby Doll U.S., 1956 Baby Doll, the tour de force first screenplay of noted playwright Tennessee Williams, is taken from his play 27 Seven Wagons Full of Cotton. Director Elia Kazan puts his comical stamp on this look at marriage between Baby Doll (Carroll Baker), a 19-year-old child-like woman, who keeps her husband, Archie Lee Meighan (Karl Malden), a failed cotton gin owner, waiting until her 20th birthday to consummate their marriage. Filmed in Beniot, Mississippi, with African American locals given bit roles lending this film an air of authenticity, Baby Doll was considered risqué at the time of its release. Despite leaving much to the imagination, the allure and the salaciousness of the film and its promotions earned the condemnation of the Catholic Legion of Decency and made it a sleeper hit of 1956 before it went on to win four Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Actress. 35mm, b&w, 116 min. Director: Elia Kazan. Screenwriter: Tennessee Williams. With: Karl Malden, Carroll Baker, Mildred Dunlock, Eli Wallach. Restoration funding provided by The Film Foundation. Restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Location: Billy Wilder Theater

Eat Drink Man Woman Taiwan/U.S., 1994 With his fourth feature, co-written with Hui-Ling Wang and James Schamus, Taiwanese director Ang Lee firmly cemented his status as a major auteur.
