Get ready for a rollercoaster of unexpected connections and serendipitous encounters in this lineup of shorts, where love, laughter, and life intertwine in the most surprising ways.

Our main feature for a themed Marlon T. Riggs night at the Brattle: Tongues Untied is an experimental doc combining personal narratives, poetry, performance, and Riggs' own commentary to create a powerful and multifaceted portrayal of Black gay life. Combined with 3 of Marlon's short films that speak to the resilience of what it means to be Black and Gay during the late 80's and early 90's, which still ring true today. This is very much a holy grail program for me as a programmer, Marlon's films touched and inspired me as a filmmaker when I first saw them in the early 90s as a young Queer activist. This grouping of films is a must see for anyone interested in Gay history.

At once a deeply personal cosmic horror relationship meltdown, folksy Provincetown horror travelogue, and eulogy for community under modern pressures. Saint Drogo defies expectations only to sink under your skin long, long after you return home from the theater.
