in 2019 Raymond Foye and I organized a Spectacle event: Horace Washington's rare footage of Bob Kaufman at Malvina's, San Francisco, December 1974 - his first poetry reading after a 10+ year vow of silence. Raymond has just uploaded the tape to youtube: piped.video/watch?v=ZlWwkaDN…

the universe's only known 35mm print of Arizal's AMERICAN HUNTER (1988) has arrived and it is *immaculate*. Don't miss this rare chance to catch it at MoMA thurs/fri, as Spectacle closes out the genius "A Theater Near You" series curated by @davidpschwartz moma.org/calendar/events/106…

As the second Trump regime barrels swiftly into its ultranationalist and fascist campaign promises, with trans and queer people among the many scapegoats at the heart of its destructive project, the need for queer resistance to the United States has seldom been more obvious. Neither, however, is this resistance historically unique. “F*ck the Fourth” is an evening of anti-4th of July counter-programming from queer video artists and filmmakers working from the early 1990s through the present. The works making up the program deconstruct, expose, and finally reimagine the American nation-state through a distinctly queer, anti-imperialist lens. 📽️Film Lineup: Star Spangled Basher (Carl Michael George) Actual TV Picture (William E Jones) Anthem (Marlon Riggs) Homotopia (Eric A. Stanley and Chris E. Vargas) 📅 July 10 at 7:30pm 📍@SpectacleNYC, 124 S 3rd St, Brooklyn, NY 🎟️ Tickets and full program details: spectacletheater.com/mix-nyc… Trailer by Sadie Meadow
