Friday 8/30 –
Thursday 9/5
Sauvage / Wild FILM screening; Zeitgeist Theatre & Lounge; 6621 St Claude Ave, Arabi, LA; Daily 7:15 PM – 9 PM; Sauvage is an intimate French drama that introduces us to the rough-and-tumble life of twenty-something Léo (Félix Maritaud), who solicits men on a lonely intersection on the outskirts of Paris. Director Vidal-Naquet spent three years researching the lives of these young men and interviewing sex workers on an infamous Parisian road, encouraging him to make this honest and tender portrait of a young man in freefall.
Derek Jarman’s The Garden; Zeitgeist Theatre & Lounge; 6621 St Claude Ave, Arabi, LA; Daily 9 pm – 10:30 pm; Half waking dream and half fiery polemic, The Garden was born of director Jarman’s rage over continued anti-gay discrimination and the sluggardly response to the AIDS crisis—he had been diagnosed HIV positive in 1988. Starring Tilda Swinton, this uniquely kaleidoscopic film shows the filmmaker’s genius at its most coruscating, making space in its breadth of vision for an over-the-top Hollywood-style musical number, nightmare images of tar-and-feather queer persecution, and footage of the particularly menacing-looking nuclear power plant that overlooks Jarman’s own garden, the point from which his film begins, and a cherished spot which he must keep to tending even as his body begins to betray him. Writhing with sorrow and anger, and yet so vividly alive to the loveliness of being, The Garden is a baleful and beautiful epistle from the brink of the beyond.
