SUMMARY:Dorian Wood: Canto (Versión Juanga)
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 7:30PM \n\n\n\nPerformance begins at 8:00PM  \n\n\n\n$15 / sliding scale  :   Friday Tickets  –  Saturday Tickets \n\n\n\nDorian Wood returns to Human Resources for two nights only with an immersive performance that interweaves music from her newly-released album Canto de Todes (New Amsterdam Records) with iconic songs by the legendary singer/composer Juan Gabriel. Loved by millions around the world\, El Divo de Juárez has left an undeniable imprint on our collective consciousness. Says Wood: “Growing up in South L.A. in the 80’s\, Juanga’s music was the air we breathed\, always on the radio\, on TV\, drifting in the air at picnics in MacArthur Park\, backyard birthday parties\, bake sales at Plaza de la Raza\, and soothing us to sleep from the living room while our parents stayed up. No other artist has achieved this kind of omnipresence. I want my brief return to L.A. this year to convey these memories\, and this honoring of Juanga\, de toda corazón.”  \n\n\n\nWood’s own composition Canto de Todes–Spanish for “Song of Everyone”–is a mutating project that began as a touring 12-hour work and was released in May 2026 as a 70-minute album that weaves together chamber classical\, folk\, torch song\, and experimental music. Canto de Todes emphasizes the urgency of music as a vessel for social change\, and simultaneously honors the ancestral trajectory of Wood’s Costa Rican-Nicaraguan family in the U.S.

SUMMARY:Lechedevirgen: XOCHIHUA Ancestral Blooming
DESCRIPTION:$15 Suggested donation \n\n\n\n“Travestis somos\, vestimos fores\, y nos transformamos con las estaciones”Dusting off a seemingly withered past\, this performance addresses the transvestite ancestrythat survives and flourishes in Abya Yala\, emphasizing the sacred role of sexual dissidenceand trans people in precolonial times. \n\n\n\nLechedevirgen reclaims the symbolic power of flowers and their ancestral connection totransvestism\, using the metaphor of blossoming (the blossoming of the trans/travesti body\,the same blossoming of revolutions and liberation) to reclaim the history that was erasedand extirpated by the processes of domination that imposed compulsory heterosexuality anda cisgender fundamentalism that still pathologizes\, criminalizes\, and takes the lives of ourtransvestite/trans/non-binary communities. \n\n\n\nThe word “Xochihua\,” translated as “she who carries the flower\,” is the Nahuatl term fortransvestites and queer men—homosexual men who dressed and acted as women—inAztec times before colonization in the territory now known as “Mexico\,” the second deadliestcountry for trans people in the world in the current context. Xochihuas are strongly linked toXochipilli\, the “lord of flowers\,” a deity of art\, joy\, ecstasy\, sexual pleasure\, sacred flowers\,and entheogens. \n\n\n\nLechedevirgen (they/them)\, is a non-binary sexual dissident mexican artist that conceives oftheir artistic work as the creation of acts of disobedience and symbolic revenge\, combiningwriting\, performance\, ritual\, and expanded transvestism from an anti-patriarchal\, anti-colonial\, and anti-racist perspective. A representative of the LGBT+ counterculture and apioneer of post-pornography in Mexico\, their invented “Heterosexual DeconversionTherapies” and is the author of “Deshacer el Arte” (OnA Ediciones\, 2025)\, “PensamientoPuñal” (Dos Filos\, 2022)\, and the phrase “I Don’t Feel Pride\, I Feel Rage\,” which addresseshate crimes and critiques pinkwashing. Them has presented their work in Colombia\,Ecuador\, Mexico\, the United States\, Canada\, and Europe.

SUMMARY:Isaura String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:$15 sugested donation \n\n\n\n“The brilliant playing of the Isaura Quartet is a technical triumph\, equal to the emotional demands of the music.”— SEQUENZA 21 \n\n\n\n“[The music] was felt in the body\, in the nerves and sinews\, under the ribcage\, and in the throat. All this from a remarkable string quartet that extended the syntactical and sonic range of their instruments.”— JACKI APPLE\, FABRIK MAGAZINE \n\n\n\nIsaura String Quartet returns to the Dog Star Festival for the first time since 2016\, presenting music by Laura Cetilia\, inti figgis-vizueta\, Sarah Hennies\, and Gloria Coates. Inspired by their collaboration with Coates on the west coast premiere of her 9th string quartet\, ISQ’s program explores themes of transformation\, liberation\, and imagining new futures as we want to see them. Coates wrote of her 9th quartet’s final movement\, The Cry\, that it “suggests heralding of a new world of sound.” Audiences are invited to join ISQ for an evening of musical embodiment through microtonal tuning\, improvisatory soundscapes\, extended technique\, and very many long\, slow glissandi. \n\n\n\nIsaura String Quartet is a Grammy Award-nominated ensemble based in Los Angeles. Described as “venturesome” and “edgy” in the LA Times\, the quartet pushes boundaries while staying true to their mission of promoting contemporary chamber music through live performance\, workshops\, and collaborative projects with composers and interdisciplinary artists. Founded in 2013\, ISQ’s practice is centered around music\, community\, and developing systems to support and examine the spaces in which they work. The quartet has commissioned 35 new works\, prioritizing new pieces through their programming with a focus on workshopping and supporting the work of emerging composers. Isaura String Quartet is Betsy Rettig (she/her)\, Emily Call (she/her)\, Laila Zakzook (she/her)\, and Mads Falcone (they/them).  \n\n\n\nPhoto by Zeynep Yeldan

SUMMARY:NO SLEEP/NO PICNIC
DESCRIPTION:On View: July 2–12\, 2026Hours: Wednesday–Sunday\, 12–6PM \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, July 2\, 6–9PMwith live performance \n\n\n\nNO SLEEP/NO PICNIC brings together work by queercrip artists Halo Starling and Libby Paloma in a two-person exhibition at Human Resources Gallery\, Los Angeles. The show pairs Starling’s textile installation NO SLEEP (2026) with Paloma’s soft-sculptural installation NO PICNIC (2023)\, two works that refuse the idea that surviving difficulty should be invisible\, dignified\, or done alone. \n\n\n\nStarling’s NO SLEEP (2026) draws on their experience of Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)\, chronic nightmares\, and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD). Starling’s ensuing years-long sleep debt required five months of convalescence in their bed. The work takes the form of a sleep temple: the bedsheets from Starling’s recovery hang like temple walls\, adorned with pillow-shaped votives. The votives — silkscreened onto hand-woven linen\, the material of ancient Greek bedding — reference the stone offerings of affected body parts that Ancient Greek supplicants would bring to these temples. Viewers encounter vertical bed sheets that cannot be slept on\, mirroring the struggles of living with a sleep disorder. Private convalescence becomes sacred architecture; befriending sleep becomes a ritual.  \n\n\n\nPaloma’s NO PICNIC (2023) is an 18-foot-long soft-sculptural installation that transforms idiomatic expressions into an absurd\, meticulous picnic scene. Living with a connective tissue disorder and autoimmune illness\, Paloma draws on her background in Speech-Language Pathology to materialize phrases like “bigger fish to fry\,” “the whole enchilada\,” “in a pickle\,” and “when life gives you lemons” as soft sculptures in fabric\, vinyl\, polyfill\, and felt — a metallic rainbow fish\, a frying pan\, a lemonade pitcher sweating vinyl ice cubes\, lace enchiladas. The installation enacts what Paloma calls “world softening”: the practice of imagining a softer world\, while also considering who has the privilege to luxuriate in public spaces\, and what life circumstances might prompt someone to express these phrases. \n\n\n\nTaken together\, the NO SLEEP/NO PICNIC diptych is a meditation on the near-constant state of queercrip survival\, encountering and resisting barriers to access\, and the resulting body trauma\, all day and all night. NO SLEEP was created as a response to NO PICNIC\, meditating on the embrace and challenges of a “world-softening” bedtime for traumatized crips. NO PICNIC is about seeking softness in the daytime in public; NO SLEEP is about struggling with softness in the nighttime in private. Together the works ask what it costs to keep going\, and what forms of care make it possible. \n\n\n\nHalo Starling (he/they\, b. Perth\, Australia) is a Los Angeles–based artist\, filmmaker\, and writer whose work explores dreaming\, trans and queer countercultures\, crip futurity\, and the transformative potential of altered states. Drawing from archives\, ritual\, and speculative worldbuilding\, they create poetic forms that blur the boundaries between memory\, myth\, and collective imagination. Their debut solo show\, Fairy Prince (2025)\, was exhibited at ONE Archives at the USC Libraries. Starling earned their MFA in Film and Media Arts from Temple University\, and is a Ph.D. student in Media Arts + Practice at USC School of Cinematic Arts. \n\n\n\nLibby Paloma (she/they\, b. Santa Ana\, CA) is a New York-based interdisciplinary artist working across sculpture\, installation\, and performance. Embracing maximal aesthetics\, humor\, and craft traditions\, Paloma transforms familiar materials into representational forms imbued with layered meaning. Immersive and labor-intensive\, Paloma’s soft sculptures draw on craft practices and traditional sewing techniques passed down by the women in her Mexican and Chicana lineage. Through the conceptual framework of “world-softening\,” Paloma explores intersectional identity and the radical potential of softness. Paloma earned a Master of Science in Communicative Disorders from San Francisco State University and a Master of Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design at The New School.

SUMMARY:Stanya Kahn Survey of Films
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nThis is the first of 3 consecutive Thursday nights of films by Los Angeles artist Stanya Kahn. \n\n\n\nSliding scale tickets \n\n\n\nThursday July 23rd at 8pm – Stand in the Stream (2011-2017) \n\n\n\nStand in the Stream defies categorization—an ambient digital feature about life\, death\, the inextricability of the personal from the political\, the primacy of the image and the interplay of scale in human struggle\, from the intimacy of the home to the global streets\, the handheld camera to the drone. Shot over the course of six years\, Stand in the Stream captures historic shifts in popular uprisings and the nascent use of the internet to organize and document. Made during a period in which massive and unprecedented protest movements rose across the globe between 2010 and 2017—Tunisia\, Egypt\, Brazil\, Turkey\, the U.S.—the film is also follows the intimate arc of deterioration and death of the artist’s activist/worker mother\, alongside personal documentation of daily life amidst swiftly changing political and digital landscapes. Live-streams screen-recorded in real-time are intercut with footage Kahn shot on multiple camera formats\, as an embodied means to reframe our screen-saturated\, contemporary perspectives without using found footage. With a dense and visceral sound score\, Stand in the Stream moves from the home to the wild\, from online chat rooms to the streets. From the birth of a child to the death of a mother\, from Tahrir Square to Standing Rock and Trump’s (first) inauguration\, Stand in the Stream is an urgent contemporary ode and a story for the people. \n\n\n\nThursday July 30th at 8pm – Dont Go Back to Sleep \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColor HD video with stereo soundWritten\, directed\, shot\, edited and sound designed by Stanya Kahn ©2014 \n\n\n\nIncludes original sounds/music by Kahn and Keith Wood (Hush Arbors\, Chelsea Light Moving). B Camera by Ignacio Genzon\, Mike Soltz and Chiara Giovando. The cast contributed primary dialogue. Made with the support of Grand Arts\, Kansas City \n\n\n\nCourtesy of the artist \n\n\n\n“People are going back and forthacross the doorsill where the two worlds touch.The door is round and openDon’t go back to sleep!” –Rumi“When you affect something\, you are at the same time opening yourself up to being affected in turn\, and in a slightly different way than you might have been the moment before. You have made a transition\, however slight. You have stepped over a threshold.”—Brian Massumi\, (translator\, “A Thousand Plateaus”)\, from interview: Navigating Movements \n\n\n\nDon’t Go Back To Sleep is an experimental narrative feature film that operates as a metaphor for the violence of the state and resulting citizen trauma and resilience. As medical professionals perform haphazard triage\, mostly on each other\, in homes left vacant during the 2008 housing crash\, we realize they may be the only people left: workers (The People) vs the danger outside: the state (police/military/clampdown). In tenuous relations between strangers collaborating under pressure\, darkly comedic camaraderie arises in small human exchanges. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThursday August 6th at 8pm – No Go Backs  ©Stanya Kahn\, 2020\, It’s Cool\, I’m Good Stanya Kahn ©2010 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo Go Backs  ©Stanya Kahn\, 2020 \n\n\n\nTRT: 33 min  \n\n\n\nColor super 16mm\, transferred to 2K Digital video with stereo sound \n\n\n\nA visceral 33-minute short film\, shot on super 16mm with an original sound-score and no words\, No Go Backs follows two sets of teenagers who leave the city for the wild\, only haphazardly prepared. Featuring the artist’s son (Lenny Dodge-Kahn) and his life-long best friend (Elijah Parks) and their friends (Serafina and Marisol Prietto\,) No Go Backs is a quietly dystopian fiction grounded in real-world relations and the understated but persistent presence of contemporary catastrophes. In the haunted precarity of a collapsed world\, the kids travel in dreamlike states of distraction\, malaise\, and resilience. They cut an arduous path along sites of California’s historic water wars\, following the aqueduct north toward its source\, through the monumental landscapes of the Eastern Sierra Nevada. Eventually encountering other kids along shared roads—and the prospect of camaraderie in facing the unknown—the film becomes a vison of tenuous survival and the astonishing power of the earth. Completed just a month before lockdown\, No Go Backs appears as an uncanny premonition and an allegorical epic about an entire generation that must make a new way forward.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s Cool\, I’m Good Stanya Kahn ©2010 \n\n\n\nTRT: 35:22  \n\n\n\nColor SD video transferred to HD with options for 5.1 surround or stereo \n\n\n\nCommandeering a rotating staff of nurses with equal parts wit and belligerence\, a severely injured protagonist (Kahn) moves through the city\, hospice\, and wilderness\, seducing\, harassing and charming caretakers into holding the video camera. At once selfless\, narcissistic\, verbose\, elusive\, vulnerable and manipulative\, the patient is tenacious in the face of death. Memory and time have been destabilized by trauma. Mirroring economic collapse\, urban tension and ecological demise as contexts for contemporary stress\, the “patient” embodies damage and resilience with a relentless albeit morbid sense of humor. A compromised sense of social navigation gives way to uncompromised presence.  \n\n\n\nKahn shot at over twenty locations and designed a complex audio score\, to cut a narrative that’s organized across many small arcs in place of one grand one\, confounding linear time and troubling the line between the monstrous\, heroic and mundane. \n\n\n\nBecome a member for $13/month to access all of HR events including this summer’s Cinema Land featuring Stanya Kahn’s film survey!

SUMMARY:Tampopo
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nTampopo (タンポポ\, Tanpopo; literally “dandelion”) is a 1985 Japanese film written and directed by Juzo Itami\, and starring Tsutomu Yamazaki\, Nobuko Miyamoto\, Kōji Yakusho\, and Ken Watanabe.  \n\n\n\nThe tale of an eccentric band of culinary ronin who guide the widow of a noodle-shop owner on her quest for the perfect recipe\, this rapturous “ramen western” by Juzo Itami is an entertaining\, genre-bending adventure underpinned by a deft satire of the way social conventions distort the most natural of human urges—our appetites. Interspersing the efforts of Tampopo (Nobuko Miyamoto) and friends to make her café a success with the erotic exploits of a gastronome gangster and glimpses of food culture both high and low\, the sweet\, sexy\, and surreal Tampopo is a lavishly inclusive paean to the sensual joys of nourishment\, and one of the most mouthwatering examples of food on film ever made.

SUMMARY:The Beaches of Agnès
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nThe Beaches of Agnès is a 2008 French documentary film directed by Agnès Varda. \n\n\n\nMade as its auteur approached her 80th birthday\, Agnès Varda’s The Beaches of Agnès is a playful\, elegiac autobiography in cinema by the “grandmother” of the French New Wave. Varda has created a living\, moving collage in which clips from her earlier films are juxtaposed with images from her travels\, projects\, and relationships\, and documentary realism gives way to dreamy montages and surrealist set pieces. Supporting players include Harrison Ford and fellow filmmaker Chris Marker\, appearing in the guise of an orange cartoon cat. The result is a luminous meditation on Varda’s life in film and on the art of film itself.

SUMMARY:THE GAYSIAN ARCHIVE: NGUYEN TAN HOANG’S EXPERIMENTAL VIDEOS (1995-2026)
DESCRIPTION:7:00 pm – 8:30 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets \n\n\n\nJuly 31st at 7pmProgram 1: RISKY BUSINESS \n\n\n\nPost-Screening Discussion with Nguyen Tan Hoang & Eve Oishi \n\n\n\nThe program centers on the intersection of queer Asian identity\, sexual desire\, and the HIV/AIDS crisis. 7 Steps to Sticky Heaven (1995) presents candid interviews with young gay Asian men in San Francisco about the “politics of starch.” Queer & questioning twenty-somethings in Irvine\, California\, confess their lasting longings and missed connections in Maybe Never (but I’m counting the days) (1996). Forever Bottom! (1999) critiques and embraces the ubiquitous figure of the Asian bottom. K.I.P. (2001) remixes 1980s VHS porn decay to highlight a spectral gay male sex community persevering across time. Sad Porn Circa 1994 (2026) links gay pornography with liberation politics and the curtailment of sexual possibility. A Horse\,  A Filipino… (2005) juxtaposes Hollywood’s Filipino sissy houseboy with bare back porn\, highlighting persistent “uninhibited” racial-sexual stereotypes. I Remember Dancing (2019) expands the archive to intergenerational trans and queer “gaysians\,” reflecting on AIDS\, activism\, and collective memory. Together\, these pieces map a three-decade spanning\, self reflexive portrait of the risks\, pleasures\, and cultural negotiations shaping queer Asian American experience.   \n\n\n\n– –  \n\n\n\nAugust 1st at 7pmProgram 2: PIRATED FANTASIES \n\n\n\nPost-Screening Discussion with Nguyen Tan Hoang & Chris E. Vargas \n\n\n\nAcross the nine works in the Pirated Fantasies program\, Nguyen Tan Hoang foregrounds the negotiation of queer Asian identity through experimental collage and archival appropriation. Each piece taps a different facet of that negotiation—whether it’s reclaiming absent “sticky‑homoerotic” images of Hong Kong pop idols in Forever Jimmy! (1995)\, chronicling personal longing and loss in Love Letters 1 & 2 (1996)\, or excavating refugee trauma and its sexual reverberations in PIRATED! (2000). The videos also interrogate media representation: they remix pornographic tropes\, historic film clips\, and found photographs to reveal how race\, gender\, and desire are simultaneously fetishized\, erased\, or embraced (e.g.\, the “no Asians” ban explored in look_im_azn [2011]\, the Oriental Hardon’s [2026] gaysian nude archives\, and the early‑70s gay porn examined in Eavesdropping on Jason Sato’s Brothers [2025]). A third through‑line is the fluidity of gender and desire\, illustrated by the gender‑transition narrative of Crimson (2000)\, the priesthood metaphor in The Calling (2000)\, and the hand‑focused objectification of The Lesbian Hand (2026). The program binds past and present through memory\, longing\, and the act of re‑imagining—the act of looping\, looping\, and looping again to compress history\, trauma\, and pleasure into short\, hyper‑edited kinetic essays that map a continuous\, evolving queer Asian diaspora. \n\n\n\n– – \n\n\n\nNguyen Tan Hoang (b. 1971\, Saigon\, Vietnam) is interested in Asian American visual culture\, Southeast Asian cinema\, race and pornography\, and homo-sex archives. They earned a PhD in Rhetoric from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and an MFA in Studio Art from the University of California\, Irvine. Their publications include the monograph A View from the Bottom: Asian American Masculinity and Sexual Representation (Duke University Press\, 2014) and essays in Camera Obscura\, Visual Anthropology\, Porn Archives\, and The Intellect Handbook of Adult Film and Media. Their short experimental videos have been screened at the Museum of Modern Art (NY)\, The Getty Center (LA)\, the Centre Pompidou (Paris)\, Asian Art Museum (SF)\, and Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin). They live and work between San Jose\, California\, and Ho Chi Minh City\, Vietnam. \n\n\n\nCo-Sponsored by Bad Asians & Center for Race & Gender at UC Berkeley \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBecome a member of HR-LA for $13 a month for tickets to all screenings

SUMMARY:Heart Aches from Loving You: Two films by Tuni Chatterji
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwitterpated – 2002- TRT 25 min \n\n\n\nTwitterpated is an investigation of image\, sound and the sensations of unrequited love through the form of a musical. It is a series of events articulated by thirteen nonprofessional performances\, twelve American pop songs and eleven locations in and around Los Angeles. Each scene is built only on the essential elements of a musical: a person in a place singing a song. However\, the simplicity of the structure often lends itself to peculiar and touching performances. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOkul Nodi- 2014- TRT 52 min \n\n\n\nOkul Nodi is a contemplative documentary film about Bhatiyali\, the river music of Bangladesh. Bhatiyali is the soulful music sung\, as tradition has it\, by the boatmen of Bangladesh. The poignancy of the lyrics often rests on dual meanings wherein boats become bodies\, lovers are also lost gods\, and river banks stand for cycles of life and death. All the while\, the melody\, with its tonal variations\, carries the listener into the natural world by creating the sensation of drifting along the water. \n\n\n\nWe spent months traversing the Brahmaputra-Ganges delta by boats\, buses and rickshaws in search of boatmen\, hoping to trace a history of this musical form and its relationship to the landscape. What we found instead was a passionate group of experts\, the effects of modernization on folk traditions\, and an open dialogue about what it means to be Bengali. Mirroring the complicated yet fleeting relationship between the songs and the landscape and by calling attention to the intrinsic qualities of the cinematic form itself\, Okul Nodi explores a disjunction between expectation and experience. \n\n\n\nTuni Chatterji is an artist\, filmmaker and educator working primarily in archives and museums. Her films engage with phenomenons of the natural world through cinematic process and language. After receiving the Fulbright scholarship to Bangladesh\, Tuni made her first feature length experimental documentary\, Okul Nodi\, exploring Bhatiyali\, the boat songs of Bengal. Her films and installations have shown at film festivals\, universities\, museums\, and art spaces internationally. \n\n\n\nTuni received her BFA in Painting from the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville and her MFA in Filmmaking from CalArts.

SUMMARY:Fresh Kill
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nFresh Kill is a 1994 experimental film directed by Shu Lea Cheang and written by Jessica Hagedorn. \n\n\n\nA disturbingly prescient ecofeminist parable and a brain-wave-scrambling cyberpunk fantasia\, the debut feature from new-media pioneer Shu Lea Cheang merges a bold vision of resistance with an exuberant early-internet aesthetic. In a dystopian-chic New York where sushi joints and toxic-waste sites exist side by side\, a lesbian couple (Sarita Choudhury and Erin McMurtry) turn to the hacker underground to solve their daughter’s disappearance\, in the process exposing a conspiracy involving corporate greenwashing and tainted fish. Swinging between outré satire and agitprop\, Fresh Kill sounds the alarm about a capitalist system that pollutes everything from our waterways to our bodies to our minds.

SUMMARY:Arrebato
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nArrebato ([areˈβato]\, “Rapture”) is a 1979 Spanish horror film written and directed by Ivan Zulueta. \n\n\n\nHorror movie director José is adrift in a sea of doubt and drugs. As his belated second feature nears completion\, his reclusive bubble is popped by two events: a sudden reappearance from an ex-girlfriend and a package from past acquaintance Pedro: a reel of Super-8 film\, an audiotape\, and a door key. From there\, the boundaries of time\, space\, and sexuality are erased as José is once more sucked into Pedro’s vampiric orbit. Together\, they attempt the ultimate hallucinogenic catharsis through a moebius strip of filming and being filmed.

SUMMARY:A Scream Workshop by Jasmine Nyende
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nWhat sound defines your survival? Learn the art of the perfect cinematic scream and how to locate the rage that leads to liberation. We will outline and define our voices to craft our own iconic horror movie scream scene with breath work exercises\, somatic release prompts and co-witnessing each other in the raw chaotic catharsis of horror fiction. \n\n\n\nJasmine Nyende is a punk vocalist\, educator and visual artist from Los Angeles\, California. She was lead vocalist for the punk band FUCK U PAY US! and has taught vocal workshops for the past 10 years at spaces including Girls Rock Camp\, CalArts and San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery. She frames each exercise around the legacy of Black women in punk music\, punk music as a musical artform that unites people in struggle\, and the ways in which the collective body can process trauma through both witnessing and enacting a “rage in/to radiance” practice. She recently completed her MFA in Studio Art Practice from UC Berkeley and currently writing her first book.

SUMMARY:William E. Jones and Margie Schnibbe
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nWilliam E. Jones and Margie Schnibbe in conversation and screening videos including “The Fall of Communism as Seen in Gay Pornography” and “Mistress Samantha Diet Doctor” \n\n\n\nVena Virago’s Friday Night (2026) 3 min. Margie Schnibbe
  A visual artist with a corporate day job and a secret history as adult film director Vena Virago\, Margie celebrates the end of a mundane nine-to-five work week. Vena Virago’s Friday Night is a kinetic techno collage comprised of found footage\, online gay porn\, AI animation\, and vintage archival fragments. \n\n\n\nMistress Samantha Diet Doctor (1994) 14 min. Margie Schnibbe
  A West Village dominatrix puts her 400 lb. love slave on an S&M diet. Filmed in NYC when Margie was a sex worker and invited to assist Mistress Samantha in a private session with one of her regular clients.

 \n\n\n\nMore British Sounds (2006) 8 min. William E. Jones
  In More British Sounds images from The British Are Coming (1986) collide with dialogue from See You at Mao (1969) also known as British Sounds\, produced by the Dziga Vertov Group under the direction of Jean-Luc Godard. “Workers have come to expect too much\,” a narrator intones\, as an English lad in a state of undress polishes the boots of a royal guard in full uniform. The soundtrack consists of a speech from British Sounds layered four times in the structure of a round. Gaps in the dialogue—filled by Godard’s heavy breathing in the original—allow certain key phrases to be heard in the chaos. The super-reactionary spouting venom must have seemed horrendous and absurd in the late 1960s\, but his line was practically adopted as policy in early 21st Century America. The fetishistic sports underwear\, skinhead tattoos\, and bad boy snarls have been widely adopted as well. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGregory Übermensch Smoking Hot (2025) 6 min. Margie Schnibbe. Starring Gregory Barnett.
  Margie and Gregory bond over their shared German heritage and passion for perversion in this smoking fetish jerk off fantasy\, a contemporary portrait of Friedrich Nietzsche’s “superman”. Friends and artistic collaborators for over 15 years\, Gregory and Margie film on location in an industrial neighborhood\, urban nature park and travel trailer in the Northeast Los Angeles neighborhood they have both called home. The video includes archival video and audio from the Hindenburg disaster\, a catastrophic fire that occurred when a passenger blimp from Frankfurt\, Germany attempted to land in New Jersey in 1937. Long Beach\, California queer DIY punk band NÜ GØDD provides the music.  \n\n\n\nThe Fall of Communism as Seen in Gay Pornography (1998) 19 min. William E. Jones
   Every image in The Fall of Communism as Seen in Gay Pornography comes from gay adult videos produced in Eastern Europe since the introduction of capitalism. The video provides a glimpse of young men responding to the pressures of an unfamiliar world\, one in which money\, power and sex are now connected.

SUMMARY:Female Trouble Midnight Screening
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nA midnight screening of Female Trouble is a 1974 American dark comedy film written\, produced\, and directed by John Waters. \n\n\n\nGlamour has never been more grotesque than in Female Trouble\, which injects the Hollywood melodrama with anarchic decadence. Divine\, director John Waters’ larger-than-life muse\, engulfs the screen with charisma as Dawn Davenport\, the living embodiment of the film’s lurid mantra\, “Crime is beauty\,” who progresses from a teenage nightmare hell-bent on getting cha-cha heels for Christmas to a fame monster whose egomaniacal impulses land her in the electric chair. Shot in Waters’ native Baltimore on 16 mm\, with a cast drawn from his beloved troupe of regulars\, the Dreamlanders (including Mink Stole\, David Lochary\, Mary Vivian Pearce\, Edith Massey\, and Cookie Mueller)\, this film­—the director’s favorite of his work with Divine—comes to life through the tinsel-toned vision of production designer Vincent Peranio and costume designer/makeup artist Van Smith. An endlessly quotable fan favorite\, Female Trouble offers up perverse pleasures that never fail to satisfy.

DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n@filmsforhorses  \n\n\n\nStick With Me\, an experimental short film program presented by Films For Horses ruminates on the tangibility of unresolved impressions. Gesturing to the sticky stillness of summertime\, this program is guided by disembodied voices\, multi-dimensional sound\, patient landscapes and fragmented brushes through time. As the compression of memory facilitates the act of touch between frames\, the gap between the viewer and the moving image closes too. This touch is surreal and meditative\, asking to be enmeshed in the mind of its spectator\, closing the gap between memory and myth. \n\n\n\nDoors at 7pm. Light snacks and drinks will be available.

SUMMARY:Flaming Ears
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nFlaming Ears is a 1992 Austrian science fiction queer film directed by and starring A. Hans Scheirl\, Ursula Pürrer\, and Dietmar Schipek. \n\n\n\nA pop sci-fi lesbian extravaganza set in the year 2700 in the fictional burned-out city of Asche that follows the tangled lives of three women. This story of obsession and revenge is also an anti-romantic plea for love in all its many forms. A truly underground film shot on Super 8 and newly restored\, FLAMING EARS is original for its playful disruption of narrative conventions\, its witty approach to film genre\, and its punk visual splendor.

SUMMARY:Final Girl Infinity Portal
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nPerformances by:Jasmine NyendeCreighton BaxterXina XurnerVideo from:Marcelline Mandeng NkenLiz LeeYoung Joon Kwak& more \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n“Final girls are the vessel we keep all our hopes in” – Stephen Graham Jones \n\n\n\nLooking outward and inward\, our landscape is constantly communicating. Tugging messages of grief and neglect acting as sinking pits and cracked sidewalks\, asking to be made apart of the whole again. This screening and performance night ask: What fictions serves as the jumping points of our visions of survival? What vessels of hope will we leave behind that can touch the violence of the ordinary? The final girl is a myth\, witch and spell all within itself. The viewer becomes a messenger like water\, transmuting the fear into wisdom\, demystifying the corn syrup from blood. The artists in this show question what it means to survive “whole” when the cracks appear faster than the repair.  \n\n\n\nMarcelline Mandeng Nken is an interdisciplinary artist working across sculpture\, installation\, new media\, text\, and performance. Her practice investigates how diasporic care and maintenance traditions shape conditions of belonging\, especially within queer and trans lifeworlds\, where home is assembled through chosen kinship.Mandeng Nken was a 2025 Dance Research Fellow at the New York Public Library’s Jerome Robbins Dance Division. She is a grantee of the Foundation for Contemporary Arts\, Leeway Foundation\, and a former resident of Skowhegan\, Goethe Institut Boston\, Whistle Space Summer Institute\, Vermont Studio Center\, and SOMA Summer. Her work has been presented at MoMA PS1\, The Kitchen\, Judson Memorial Church\, Mercer Union\, Karma International\, Cibrian\, FringeArts\, MCA Chicago\, and Córdova. She holds an MFA from Yale School of Art. \n\n\n\nLiz Lee\, hailing from Texas and currently based in Los Angeles\, is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is informed by critical inquiry into gender dynamics\, identity constructs and media theory. She is an alumn of the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) MFA program. Lee’s work embodies a rigorous exploration of societal paradigms. \n\n\n\nLee’s video installations subvert traditional power dynamics by positioning herself as both subject and commentator\, challenging viewers to confront their own positionality within the discourse of the male gaze. Her exploration of women as fetishized objects within contemporary culture\, prompts introspection on the commodification of femininity and the self. \n\n\n\nThrough an interdisciplinary practice rooted in drawing and performance\, Creighton Baxter (b. Arizona\, USA) transforms images and gestures through repetition. Through disjunctive strategies\, her iterative bodies of work explore themes of temporality and subject formation. \n\n\n\nBaxter’s performances of swallowing images in front of an audience have been activated at MOCA Los Angeles\, Poetry Project\, and MoMA. She has participated in exhibitions at Andrew Kreps Gallery\, David Castillo\, and Blade Study amongst others. Solo exhibitions include RIDDLE at Ceradon Gallery and hiss the name at Montserrat College of Art. Her works belong to numerous private collections and the Modern & Contemporary collection of the Allen Memorial Art Museum. Recently\, she was an SMFA Travelling Fellow while conducting research on the mechanisms of display for relics of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga\, and an artist-in-residence for BOFFO Fire Island. \n\n\n\nShe has produced exhibition writing for Et al Projects and JB Blunk Estate; and her drawing\, meeting Morgan at the horizon\, was the cover artwork for Feminism Against Cisness from Duke University Press (2024). Her artworks have been published in Contemporary Art Review Los Angeles\, Impulse Magazine\, Art Papers\, The New Yorker\, and Surface Magazine amongst others. \n\n\n\nXina Xurner/ Young Joon Kwak (they/she) is a Los Angeles–based artist whose work moves between sculpture\, performance\, and collective action to explore bodily transformation\, intimacy\, and the politics of visibility. Through materially rich and sensorial approaches\, Kwak challenges dominant modes of representation while imagining alternative ways that trans\, queer\, and other marginalized bodies might be seen and felt.Working with experimental processes such as invert-casting impressions in glitter\, resin\, metals\, iridescent crystals\, and mirrors\, Kwak creates luminous\, shifting forms that respond to light\, movement\, and proximity. These works unsettle perception and invite intimate\, sustained looking\, encouraging viewers to reconsider how bodies are perceived.

SUMMARY:Eve Fowler's Filles Manquées
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nThis project’s first phase is Eve Fowler’s 16mm short film\, Florence Derive\, in which the artist recounts being a gender expansive ten-year-old who becomes the object of a school teacher’s “boundless hate.” Sustained abuse causes a profound character shift that triggers illness\, and she is eventually expelled from school. From this root wound\, she finds solace\, community\, and herself in the arts to become the powerful femme with an easy smile and a critical eye that sits gazing directly into Fowler’s camera. \n\n\n\nFilles Manquées is a subsequent film that employs empathic witnessing to tell the many stories of eighty year old French trans artist Florence Derive. She sits before Fowler on the metro\, in her home or moves through the city witnessing one another\, she recounts her arrival to Paris\, her loves\, radical historical moments\, art school\, working life and transition – we listen. We trace together the spaces around Paris that make up her creative and emotional lives. \n\n\n\nIn Filles Manquées\, a queer artist and lifelong artist in her sixties turns her camera and the tenderness of her gaze on the eighty year old French trans artist Florence Derive. This film sees queer trans elders in a culture that would have us have none. It witnesses as a form of care and privileges the trans femme body as a way-maker of resistance to patriarchal violence that would cow us into believing there is only one way to live or be.  \n\n\n\nBecome a member for $13/month to access all HRLA events including this summer’s Cinema Land screenings!

SUMMARY:Ganja & Hess
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nGanja & Hess is a 1973 American black horror film written and directed by Bill Gunn and starring Marlene Clark and Duane Jones.  \n\n\n\nFlirting with the conventions of blaxploitation and the horror cinema\, Bill Gunn’s revolutionary independent film GANJA & HESS is a highly stylized and utterly original treatise on sex\, religion\, and African American identity. \n\n\n\nDuane Jones (Night of the Living Dead) stars as anthropologist Hess Green\, who is stabbed with an ancient ceremonial dagger by his unstable assistant\, endowing him with the blessing of immortality\, and the curse of an unquenchable thirst for blood. When the assistant’s beautiful and outspoken wife Ganja (Marlene Clark) comes searching for her vanished husband\, she and Hess form an unexpected partnership. Together\, they explore just how much power there is in the blood.

DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nWrites Cokes: “In 1984 I conceived of the idea of producing a documentary that framed its own devices. I was interested in how a woman\, specifically a Black woman\, would speak in a television context.” In The Book of Love\, Cokes’ mother recounts her life through interview\, stories\, and song\, effectively re-presenting history through the personal. Through intimate subjectivity\, Cokes attempts to understand his own present and history by tracing/retracing the life of his mother. \n\n\n\nCourtesy of Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI)\, New York.

SUMMARY:Hail The New Puritan
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nHail the New Puritan is a 1986 British fictionalized documentary about the Scottish dancer and choreographer Michael Clark\, directed by Charles Atlas. \n\n\n\nExuberant and witty\, Hail the New Puritan is a simulated day-in-the-life “docufantasy” starring the British dance celebrity Michael Clark. Atlas’ fictive portrait of the charismatic choreographer serves as a vivid invocation of the studied decadence of the 1980s post-punk London subculture. Contriving a faux cinéma-vérité format in which to stage his stylized fiction\, Atlas seamlessly integrates Clark’s extraordinary dance performances into the docu-narrative flow. Focusing on Clark’s flamboyantly postured eroticism and the artifice of his provocative balletic performances\, Atlas posits the dance as a physical manifestation of Clark’s psychology. From the surreal opening dream sequence to the final solo dance\, Clark’s milieu of fashion\, clubs and music signifies for Atlas “a time capsule of a certain period and context in London that’s now gone.” \n\n\n\nDirector/Editor: Charles Atlas. Choreography: Michael Clark. Dancers: Gaby Agis\, Leslie Bryant (Les Child)\, Michael Clark\, Matthew Hawkins\, Julie Hood\, Ellen van Schuylenburch. With: Leigh Bowery\, Nicola Bowery\, Michael Clark\, Anthony Doughty\, Mark E. Smith\, Brix Smith\, Sue Tilley. Music: Glenn Branca\, The Fall\, Bruce Gilbert\, Jeffrey Hinton. Camera: John Simmons. Producer: Jolyon Wimhurst. Special Thanks: Dave Baby\, Chisenhale Dance Space\, The Clarendon\, R.K. Studios\, Henry Stein. \n\n\n\nCourtesy of Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI)\, New York.
