Underground- The Meatrack October 9, 2008

THE SUPERSTARS NEXT DOOR: A CELEBRATION OF SAN FRANCISCO AMATEUR SEX CINEMA FROM THE 60’S
Presented by Jack Stevenson
Thu, Oct 9 & Sat, Oct 11
This three-part retrospective focuses on softcore sex films made in San Francisco in 1968, at that fleeting moment when censorship barriers were collapsing. Just about anyone with a 16mm camera who could convince their friends to take their clothes off could make films and get them shown to a paying public. Thus we look back 40 years and salute the spirited amateurism and glorious lack of professionalism that characterized these movies, which offer a fiercely dated snapshot of the moment.

PART TWO: UNDERGROUND – THE MEATRACK
Shot on the mean streets of San Francisco, this gritty tale of a bisexual hustler uses sexploitation as well as underground aesthetics and depicts straight as well as homosexual situations. The Meatrack is a bizarre milestone of gay cinema. (1968, 65 min, 35mm)
