DL: Los Angeles presents Sesión Continua: A Porn Theater in Echo Park, taking back the streets – way, way back to a period when freely flowing reels of gay pornography filled back alley cinema screens.
Taking over Machine Project’s Mystery Theater is a 24 hour-long marathon-screening of classic works of gay and lesbian erotica in “sesión continua” style: no schedules, no set attendance times. Slip in and out or stay a while to witness a bygone approach towards explicit cinema that blends avant-garde film forms with other industry’s titillating requirements.
We will be screening from midnight on Friday, March 20th to midnight Saturday, March 21st: 24 hours of vintage classics and some experimental gems that will promiscuously alternate on the movie screen. Come early, come late, come and leave or come and stay. “Need we say x???”
Dirty Looks: Los Angeles is a series of public events across greater Los Angeles designed to trace contemporary queer aesthetics through historical works. DL: Los Angeles is curated by Clara Lopez and Bradford Nordeen.
