OUT OF THE BLUE (1980, 35mm) Linda Manz will chill your soul as Cebe, a disaected, punkworshipping teenager whose dad (Dennis Hopper) is in prison for a school bus accident (brought to life in the nightmarish opening scene). Living with her junkie mother, Cebe has to embrace the very essence of detached, fuck-you punk attitude just to get survive. Hoping that their lives will turn around when her dad gets out of prison, she tragically discovers that the terrors of addiction and abuse can be inescapable and the movie builds to an all-time gut-wrenching shocker of an ending. Well be screening a new 35mm print of this unsung classic!

But will the Sleez Girls be torn apart? Or will they tear themselves apart? Its the best parts of a half-dozen great 80s lms, only better. One of the rst teen movies to feature predominantly punk and New Wave music, TIMES SQUARE captures the essence of post-70s New York decay, immortalizing the famous porn district that has since been transformed into a characterless mega-mall. Go Sleaze! THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN (1985, 35mm) Helen Slater and Christian Slater (unrelated, despite their roles of sister and brother) star in this indisputable 80s youth classic about a Corpus Christi teenager who becomes an outlaw in her quest for justice. Fighting under the slogan Fair is fair, Billie Jean goes on the run from the law with her brother and best friends, becoming an unlikely hero for oppressed teens everywhere. After cutting her hair as an homage to Joan of Arc, the once demure Billie Jean transforms into an authentic Texas outlaw by taking a stand against e Man. A rousing, bloodboiling no-rules rampage in the name of anti-adult empowerment! STREETWISE (1984, 35mm) is uninching documentary about homeless teens living on the streets of Seattle (Americas Most Livable City) in the early 80s began as a photo-essay in Life magazine and reects those roots by refusing to structure itself around an easy narrative or comment on the lives of the kids it follows. Escaping poverty, abuse or abandonment, they are forced to rely on panhandling, prostitution, petty crime and drugs just to get by. By sympathetically observing their impossibly hard lives, STREETWISE honors their daily battles and shares the pride these kids feel in simply surviving. is totally devestating lm will sear itself into your memory forever. e only bad part about ying is having to come back down to the fucking world. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FABULOUS STAINS (1982, 35mm) Every girl should be given an electric guitar on her 16th birthday. Dare to witness the electrifyingly entertaining rise and fall of the worlds ultimate ctional female punk band. Teenage trio e Fabulous Stains (including Diane Lane and Laura Dern) tear sts-rst into the music industry in new wave battlegear, letting nothing stand in the way of their revolutionary assault on a deflating male-dominated record industry. Featuring raging footage of e Looters and Black Randy & e Metrosquad and performances from a young Ray Winstone and Fee Waybill of e Tubes, this legendary battle call to young female rockers, wavers and punks everywhere is a crucial and explosive experience, unstoppably enjoyable and often credited as being a fundamental inspiration to the historic Riot Grrl musical/social movement. Screening on December 2nd.

VIDEO HATE SQUAD


RIDER OF THE SKULLS (1965, VHS) From Santos crusades against vampire wrestlers to clown-midgets who attack children with butcher knives, every south-of-theborder horror adventure feels like it escaped from an alternate dimension where Dracula is president, every day is Halloween, and pulp crime magazines are substituted for newspapers. RIDER OF THE SKULLS is the ultimate distillation of this spook-folk paradise. A werewolf! A vampire! A headless horseman! And a masked cowboy, dressed in black and sworn to protect the world from skull-faced cult members, cackling witches, and a dismembered head in a box! is is the cheapo Mexican monster bash that cant be contained or explained.

MEAN FRANK & CRAZY TONY (1973, 35mm) Italian crime movies are the best.

PART-TIME WIFE (1975, 35mm) Some of the best, most vigorous and intelligent lms of the drive-in era came from Arthur Marks. He gilded his movies with little grace notes and winks at the discriminating lm-goer. is rarity stars the great Keenan Wynn as a rich patriarch who returns from Las Vegas to his family home with a glamorous new wife in tow. Soon, blackmail, double-crosses, and murder become family traits. JOHNNY FIRECLOUD (1975, 35mm) A hard-driving 18-wheeler of Native American revenge.
