PASSING THROUGH — LARRY CLARK IN CONVERSATION

Larry Clark and film curator Jheanelle Brown will participate in a post-screening discussion following a UCLA presentation of Clark’s rarely seen L. A. Rebellion classic PASSING THROUGH—”a film that by many accounts has successfully transposed the compositional principles of jazz improvisation into filmmaking and thus reached a powerful synergy between free jazz and film form.”

BIXA TRAVESTY

BIXA TRAVESTY is a new documentary that “follows Linn da Quebrada, a black trans woman, performer and activist living in impoverished São Paulo. Her electrifying performances—with plenty of nudity—brazenly take on Brazil’s hetero-normative machismo.”*

The film—a Berlinale favorite directed by Kiko Goifman and Claudia Priscilla—screens this week at UCLA.
