Queer Cinema: Lost & Found

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

A young woman looks for love and a future on the wild streets of New York in gutter auteur Andy Milligan’s scuzzy underground masterpiece. Memorably advertised as being “wilder than you can imagine!” FLESHPOT ON 42ND STREET is more than that: it’s a heartfelt tribute to the fringe queer scenes Milligan knew so well. Paired with Joseph Horning’s rare portrait of a Black trans sex worker named VALERIE.

Queer film historian and series programmer Elizabeth Purchell will join us for a discussion after the screening on December 17.
