SUMMARY:SAN FRANCISCO—HELEN AND THE BEAR Screening at Framline48
DESCRIPTION:Photo: HELEN AND THE BEAR \nSAN FRANCISCO—The phrase “opposites attract” has rarely rung so true as in HELEN AND THE BEAR\, a cinéma vérité portrait of a vibrant woman and her most unusual marriage. Helen grew up feeling like a boy and as a young woman realized she was queer but went on to wed a man. And a rather unexpected man at that…Pete was an antiwar\, pro-environment Republican congressman in San Mateo\, 26 years Helen’s senior. Despite starting a long-term relationship with another woman\, Helen remained wed to the man she calls “Bear.” \n\nThis clear-eyed\, affectionate documentary finds the couple at a critical junction in their 40-year union — captured with striking honesty and intimacy by the director (and Helen’s niece) Alix Blair (FARMER/VETERAN). With Pete’s health growing more precarious at age 96\, Helen starts to look back at her own life as she contemplates what her world will look like without him. \n\nDIRECTED BY ALIX BLAIR\, 81 MINS \nWhere: Vogue Theatre\,  3290 Sacramento St\, San Francisco\, CA 94115\nWhen: June 23\, 2024 2:15 pm—3:53 pm \nFor details\, see: https://www.frameline.org/films/frameline48/helen-and-the-bear

SUMMARY:RIVERSIDE—HOLLYWOOD CHINESE Screening
DESCRIPTION:RIVERSIDE—Hollywood Chinese is a captivating revelation on a little-known chapter of cinema: the Chinese in American feature films. From the first Chinese American film produced in 1917\, to Ang Lee’s triumphant Brokeback Mountain nine decades later\, Hollywood Chinese brings together a fascinating portrait of actors\, directors\, writers\, and iconic images to show how the Chinese have been imagined in movies\, and how filmmakers have and continue to navigate an industry that was often ignorant about race\, but at times paradoxically receptive. \nHollywood Chinese is produced\, directed\, written and edited by Academy Award® nominee and triple Sundance award-winning filmmaker\, Arthur Dong (Licensed to Kill\, Coming Out Under Fire\, Forbidden City\, U.S.A.)\, and presents eleven of the industry’s most accomplished Chinese and Chinese American film artists who share personal accounts of working in film.

Wong\, Nancy Kwan\, Tsai Chin\, Lisa Lu\, James Hong\, and Amy Tan are among the storytellers who have wrestled with being the “other” in Hollywood. \nFree admission and Q&A with filmmaker Arthur Dong. \nWhere: UCR Arts\, 3824 & 3834 Main Street\, Riverside\, CA 92501\nWhen: 7 pm\, May 17\, 2024 \nFor details\, see: ucrarts.ucr.edu/films/hollywood-chinese/

SUMMARY:UCR ARTS at Riverside—Partner Screening of EXPOSING MUYBRIDGE
DESCRIPTION:Caption: Actor Gary Oldman in a still from EXPOSING MUYBRIDGE. \nUCR ARTS—On March 23\, join UCR ARTS in Riverside for an afternoon screening of EXPOSING MUYBRIDGE (2021). This free event includes a post-film Q&A with filmmaker Marc Shaffer. \nSynopsis: Few figures have played so seminal a role in our moving picture storytelling culture as the revolutionary 19th-century photographer Eadweard Muybridge. At the behest of his patron\, the railroad baron Leland Stanford\, Muybridge produced unprecedented images of running horses\, instantly transforming the camera into a machine of unmatched powers of perception and persuasion and setting the course for the development of cinema. \nBefore his motion photography breakthrough\, Muybridge produced one of the most celebrated early landscape catalogues of the American West. He made the first photographs of winemaking in Northern California\, produced the first photographs of native Tlingit people and of Southeast Alaska\, was the fourth to photograph Yosemite\, the first to be hired by the US government to photograph an Indian War (The Modoc War in Northern California)\, and his photographs of Central America are widely considered the most important early images of the region. \nMischievous\, resilient\, deceitful\, proud — Muybridge was a complicated man\, and his personal story is as melodramatic as his professional one is distinguished\, imbued with ambition and success\, loss and betrayal\, even the cold-blooded killing of a romantic rival. \n“The machine cannot lie\,” Leland Stanford declared of Muybridge’s horse-in-motion images. But what about the photographer? \nExposing Muybridge reveals long-buried secrets hiding in Muybridge’s photographs that force us to ask\, can we truly believe what we see in a photograph? \nFar from a relic of the past\, then\, Muybridge marks a beginning of “now\,” his work catalyzing much of our modern culture\, inspiring cutting-edge artists\, scientists\, and innovators\, people who continue to reshape how we interpret and experience our world. \nSaturday\, March 23\, 2024 |  3 pm \n3824 + 3834 Main Street\nRiverside\, CA 92501 \nFree admission! Reserve your free ticket here. \n*A film admission ticket gives you access to the film screening and complimentary admission to all UCR ARTS exhibitions during your visit.

SUMMARY:UCR ARTS at Riverside—Partner Screening of DOROTHEA LANGE: GRAB A HUNK OF LIGHTNING
DESCRIPTION:Caption: Photographer Dorothea Lange pictured in Texas\, circa 1934. \nUCR ARTS—On March 16\, join UCR ARTS in Riverside for an afternoon screening of DOROTHEA LANGE: GRAB A HUNK OF LIGHTNING (2014). This free event includes a post-film Q&A with filmmaker Dyanna Taylor. \nSynopsis: Explore\, through her granddaughter’s eyes\, the life story of Dorothea Lange\, the photographer who captured the iconic image ‘Migrant Mother’. Never-seen-before photos\, film footage\, interviews\, family memories\, and journals reveal the artist who challenged America to know itself. \nLange’s enduring images document five turbulent decades of American history\, including the Great Depression\, the Dust Bowl\, World War II Japanese American Internment camps\, and early environmentalism. Yet few know the story\, struggles\, and profound body of work of the woman behind the camera.  Award winning cinematographer Dyanna Taylor\, Lange’s granddaughter\, directs and narrates this intimate documentary as it explores Lange’s life\, probes the nature of her muses – two great men and the camera itself – and her uncompromising vision. Taylor\, who learned to see the visual world at her grandmother’s feet\, weaves Lange’s preparations for her career retrospective at New York’s MoMA into a universal story of a woman’s struggle to live a creative life. \nSaturday\, March 16\, 2024 |  3 pm \n3824 + 3834 Main Street\nRiverside\, CA 92501 \nFree admission!

SUMMARY:LOS ANGELES–HOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY screening
DESCRIPTION:LOS ANGELES—Please join us for the LOS ANGELES PREMIERE of HOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY on February 8 at 6 pm at UCLA. Los Angeles County is the place where most of the film’s mystery unfolds\, home of the very special “ethnoburbs” of San Gabriel Valley. “A good documentary scratches your soul\,” said the late Marina Goldovskaya\, my legendary UCLA film professor.  \nAsian American Panorama| USA | Documentary | Mandarin\, English | Subtitled | 2023 | 117 mins \nWhere: James Bridges Theater\, 1409 Melnitz Hall\, UCLA\, Los Angeles \nWhen: Thursday\, February 8\, 2023 | 6-8:35 pm \nTickets: Free \nSynopsis\, written by Kim-Anh Schreiber: Dotted across the suburban sprawl of San Gabriel\, California are so-called “maternity hotels\,” all-inclusive birth tourism packages for expectant Chinese families. Offering plane tickets\, third-trimester accommodations\, hospital selection (across a spectrum of all-cash price points)\, and final mailing of a social security card back home\, hotel brokers enable birth to a child on American soil. Through a series of observational vignettes\, HOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY traces a network of actors across the supply chain of this shadow economy: motel managers\, nannies\, companions\, and expectant mothers themselves – two whose parallel stories heartbreakingly intersect at the film’s center. \nMoving through nondescript\, Southern California apartments\, hospital rooms\, and chain stores\, the actors depicted become strange bedfellows in the literal and metaphorical waystations of another country. Director Leslie Tai thrusts her viewer into the immediacy of being in-between nations\, life stages\, labor\, and birth. Unfolding conversations unveil the myriad negotiations each of these actors make as they navigate the byzantine\, bureaucratic systems of American healthcare\, law\, and citizenship\, often from the most vulnerable of positions. \nHOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY is a portrait of the Chinese repurposing of the American dream\, accessed through the unexpected intersection of birth and commerce. We witness two countries seen through the eyes of the other\, fixed upon a vanishing point of illusory opportunities. \nScreening to be followed by Q&A with Leslie Tai. \nThis project is supported by a California Documentary Project Grant.

SUMMARY:PBS Premiere–HOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY
DESCRIPTION:PBS Premiere–Tune into broadcast premiere of HOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY\, directed by Leslie Tai. The film will air as part of PBS’ Season 36 of POV. \nHOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY is a kaleidoscopic voyage into the booming shadow economy catering to pregnant Chinese tourists who travel to Southern California on “birthing vacations”—in order to obtain U.S. citizenship for their babies. Told through a series of intimately observed storylines and situations\, we meet expectant mothers\, maternity hotel operators and operator wannabes\, local doctors and civic officials\, birth tourism agents in China\, and the nannies\, cooks\, and chauffeurs that fuel this industry. Inside bedrooms\, delivery rooms\, and private family meetings\, the story of a hidden global economy emerges—depicting the fortunes and tragedies that befall the ordinary people caught in the web of its influence.  \nHOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY\, Directed by Leslie Tai\nPBS PREMIERE (120 minutes)\nMonday\, December 11\, 2023 (check your local listings for times)\n \nLearn more about the film on the PBS website. \nThis project is supported by a California Documentary Project Grant.

SUMMARY:SAN FRANCISCO–Film panel discussion: SALLY

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.

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: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.
