Lesbian experimental filmmaker Barbara Hammer explores the erasure of queerness from both the arts and the archive throughout history in her groundbreaking first feature-length documentary. An underseen but foundational film from the much-vaunted New Queer Cinema of the early 90s, NITRATE KISSES is a fearless look at sex, censorship, and the movies. Paired with Hammer and videomaker Max Almy’s earlier short, SUPERDYKE MEETS MADAME X (20 min.). Queer Cinema: Lost & Found programmer Elizabeth Purchell will join us for a discussion at the screening on Saturday, May 20.
