THE <strong>OUTFEST</strong> LEGACY PROJECT<br />

FOR LGBT FILM PRESERVATION<br />

The Outfest Legacy Project for LGBT Film Preservation, a collaboration between Outfest and the UCLA Film & Television Archive,<br />

is the only program in the world dedicated to saving and protecting LGBT moving images from deterioration and neglect.<br />

Access: Thanks to the contributions of our<br />

filmmakers, as well as the generous support of<br />

our Outfest members, the Legacy Project<br />

Collection has grown steadily to become the<br />

largest publicly accessible collection of LGBT<br />

moving images in the world, with over 15,000 films.<br />

Conservation and Preservation: Beyond<br />

actively collecting LGBT film and video media for<br />

permanent conservation and preservation, the<br />

Legacy Project funds the restoration of damaged<br />

films and videos to their original release quality.<br />

Education: The Project conducts LGBT public<br />

education and extensive outreach to filmmakers,<br />

archivists and educators including a bi-monthly<br />

screening series at the Billy Wilder Theater in<br />

conjunction with UCLA.<br />

QUEER THROUGH THE YEARS<br />

FROM THE LEGACY PROJECT COLLECTION<br />

From tea rooms to drag queens to lipstick lesbians,<br />

this series of short films presents a fun and eyeopening<br />

look at how our community and culture has<br />

changed since the 1970s. The clips and movies in<br />

QUEER THROUGH THE YEARS have been selected<br />

from the world’s largest queer history collection at the<br />

ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives. In 2007, ONE<br />

deposited its collection of rare film and videotape with<br />

the Legacy Project at the UCLA Film & Television<br />

Archive. Co-curated by Thomas De Simone<br />

THREE BEWILDERED PEOPLE<br />

IN THE NIGHT<br />

Dir/Scr: Gregg Araki, 1987, USA, 92 min.<br />

U.S. PREMIERE OF HIGH-DEFINITION TRANSFER<br />

FROM THE LEGACY PROJECT COLLECTION<br />

In this rare screening of Gregg Araki’s funny and<br />

gritty first feature, a bisexual love triangle forms<br />

amongst twentysomething, angst-ridden<br />

Bohemians. David, a gay performance artist, is best<br />

friends with Alicia, a film student who has a cute<br />

boyfriend named Craig. Affections grow between<br />

Craig and David, causing even more despair for the<br />

three friends. Stylish, entertaining and shot guerrillastyle<br />

in Los Angeles streets and coffee shops on a<br />

tiny budget, Araki’s debut is a must-see gem.<br />

The Legacy Project and Toronto International Film<br />

Festival created this brand new high-definition<br />

transfer from the original 16mm film elements,<br />

including remastered audio.<br />

SUNDAY | July 10 | 7:00pm | DGA 2<br />
