Pride Month Screening and Zine Swap with DC Zinefest and XFR Collective
June 21 @ 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
See historic films and tapes of LGBT+ protests, pride, and video art from XFR Collective and swap zines with DC Zinefest! Free and open to the public! About the Films: Radical tape transfer collective XFR brings recently digitized jewels transferred from original materials provided by Leslie-Lohman Museum members which offer a rare glimpse into the bygone world of queer home video culture. From consciousness-raising protests to community-made PSAs and drag queen beauty contests, the films included in this program represent the equally radical and joyous past of LGBTQI filmmaking. Thanks to the technical whizzes at XFR, we can continue to exhibit these incredible films well into the future.
