Tone Glow is excited to present “The Place Between Our Bodies,” a showcase of queer short films made between 1965 and 1984. These works provide striking, unsparing depictions of gay and lesbian intimacy. The program will feature three films by the pioneering feminist director Barbara Hammer, all of which have not been digitized. The event will also include poetic works by José Rodriguez-Soltero and Coni Beeson, raw portraits by Curt McDowell, and Michael Wallin’s tremendous The Place Between Our Bodies, which Todd Haynes (Carol, Safe) once said “seems to come from another planet, another epoch, in its frank and tender extrapolation of gay sexual hunger and the kindling of a first relationship.”
Please note that the films in this program contain explicit scenes of sexual nature. Tickets can be purchased here or at the door. Only one ticket is needed for the entire night.
