SUMMARY:PBS Premiere–FIRE ON THE HILL
DESCRIPTION:PBS Premiere–Tune in for the PBS Premiere of FIRE ON THE HILL\, supported by a California Documentary Project grant. Just five miles south of downtown Los Angeles\, South Central LA was for much of the twentieth century an agricultural boomtown filled with ranchers\, farmers\, and equestrians alike. Since the city’s establishment\, Compton and the surrounding neighborhoods have always had a culture of Cowboys. Once common to the dusty dirt roads\, this culture has all but disappeared now in a wash of land-hungry developers\, apathetic politicians\, and relentless gang activity. FIRE ON THE HILL tells the story of the South Central and Compton Cowboys and the last strongholds that they have; a horse stable known as the Hill that was mysteriously set on fire in 2012. This is the story of three of those Cowboys and their fight to live out their vision of the West. \n \nFIRE ON THE HILL\, Directed/Produced by Brett Fallentine \nFind a few initial California airdates for the PBS premiere of FIRE ON THE HILL below\, and be sure to check your local PBS station listings for more airdates: \n\n\n\n\nStation\nDate\nTime\nTimezone\nDay part\n\n\nKCET\n6/17/2023\n9 PM\nPT\nPrimetime\n\n\nKVCR\n6/17/23\n6 PM\nPT\nEvening\n\n\nWORLD\n6/19/23\n4 PM\nPT\nLate afternoon/Evening\n\n\nKOCE\n6/20/23\n9 PM\nPT\nPrimetime\n\n\n\n\nFor more information on the film\, visit https://www.fireonthehill.la/ \nThis project is supported by a California Documentary Project Grant.

SUMMARY:SAN FRANCISCO–Film panel discussion: SALLY
DESCRIPTION:SAN FRANCISCO– View sneak preview of excerpts of SALLY\, a documentary-in-progress about the life and work of Sally Gearhart\, lesbian feminist activist\, scholar and fantasy author. With a panel discussion featuring SALLY director Deborah Craig\, Jewelle Gomez\, Ruth Mahaney and Cherrie Moraga. \nEvent description: \nPanel: Sally: A Documentary Film in Progress | San Francisco Public Library (sfpl.org) \nSunday\, July 9\, 2023 |2-3:30 pm \nKoret Auditorium \nMain Library | 100 Larkin Street\, San Francisco\, CA 94102 \nContact Telephone: 415-557-4400 \nContact Email: hormel@sfpl.org \nThis program is drop-in only (no registration necessary).

Requesting at least 3 business days in advance will help ensure availability. \nFilm description: \nSally Gearhart was a charismatic radical lesbian activist\, author\, and academic who spearheaded the 1970s and 80s lesbian feminist movement yet has been largely forgotten. But the film SALLY is not just a straightforward biography of this “hidden figure” deserving more recognition. It also shows the symbiotic relationship between spokeswomen like Sally and movements for social change\, which are necessarily collective. And it highlights Sally’s captivating iconoclasm and contradictions: SALLY is both a wild lesbian safari and a timely and deeply moving meditation on the tensions inherent in revolutionary movements: ideological principles versus human realities\, separatism versus mainstreaming\, and throwing down the gauntlet versus reaching across the aisle. Ultimately\, Sally and compatriots’ key contributions can help guide our current\, urgent battles for social justice. \nAbout the panelists: \nDeborah Craig is an award-winning documentary director and producer whose films use compelling personal stories to raise awareness about the challenges and strengths of underrepresented communities. Her work has played at LGBTQ+\, women’s and documentary film festivals in the U.S. and internationally. Deborah’s most recent short\, A Great Ride\, a 33-minute documentary about lesbians and aging\, premiered at the Frameline LGBTQ+ Film Festival in San Francisco in 2018\, was picked up for distribution by Frameline\, has screened at over 50 film festivals around the globe and has won multiple awards. \nJewelle Gomez (CaboVerdean/Wampanoag/Ioway; she/her) is a novelist\, poet\, playwright and cultural worker. Her eight books include three collections of poetry and the first Black Lesbian vampire novel\, The Gilda Stories. In print for 30 years\, it was recently optioned by Cheryl Dunye for a TV mini-series. Her recent collection of poetry\, Still Water\, was published in June 2022. Her new play\, Unpacking in Ptown\, will premiere at New Conservatory Theater in 2024. \nRuth Mahaney has taught LGBT History at City College of San Francisco for over 35 years and was a collective member of Modern Times Bookstore for 35 years. She has lived in San Francisco since 1971\, when she first met Sally Gearhart. She and Sally both taught at SF State University and both were members of the Lesbian Caucus\, a group of Lesbian activists attempting to advocate for Lesbian Rights with the City government. \nCherrie Moraga is an internationally recognized poet\, playwright\, essayist and memoirist.

SUMMARY:SAN FRANCISCO—CHINATOWN RISING at 4 Star Theater
DESCRIPTION:Still from CHINATOWN RISING. \nSAN FRANCISCO—Join 4 Star Theater in San Francisco for a series of special screenings of CHINATOWN RISING. \nChinatown Rising \n4 Star Theater \n2200 Clement Street\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94121 \nFriday\, July 14\, 2023\, 8:00 PM \nSaturday\, July 15\, 2023\, 10:00 AM \nSaturday\, July 15\, 2023\, 8:00 PM \nSunday\, July 16\, 2023\, 1:00 PM \nAgainst the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement of the mid-1960s\, a young San Francisco Chinatown resident armed with a 16mm camera and leftover film scraps from a local TV station\, turned his lens onto his community. Totaling more than 20\,000 feet of film (10 hours)\, Harry Chuck’s exquisite unreleased footage has captured a divided community’s struggles for self-determination. Chinatown Rising is a documentary film about the Asian-American Movement from the perspective of the young residents on the front lines of their historic neighborhood in transition. Through publicly challenging the conservative views of their elders\, their demonstrations and protests of the 1960s-1980s rattled the once quiet streets during the community’s shift in power. Forty-five years later\, in intimate interviews these activists recall their roles and experiences in response to the need for social change. \nThis film is supported by a California Documentary Project grant.
