Flaming Creatures
directed by John Cassavetes
(Ombre, 1959, 81' - original version with Italian subtitles)
This astonishing debut from the genius of American independent moviemakers takes us down into a grimy and smoke-filled New York seething with frozen and powerless humanity, adopting a totally revolutionary vocabulary that replaces traditional script with improvisation from the actors, hitting us hard with authentic human emotion that transcends all social and narrative convention, to a background accompaniment of jazz from the great Mingus.

Scorpio Rising
directed by Kenneth Anger
(1964, 28 min.)
A journey through the obsessions nurtured by the iconoclastic genius of underground experimentation, who influenced whole generations of artists from Mick Jagger to David Lynch, and who paved the way for so much of the queer cinema that was to follow, amid sexual transgression, occultism, violence and the biker aesthetic.
