Intro by filmmaker Zackary Drucker; Florrie Burke, widow of Barbara Hammer.

Collectively, Outfest, IndieCollect and UCLA are committed to sharing LGBTQ+ moving images in order to bring diverse communities together to discuss differing, often radical explorations of sexual orientation and gender identity. From this shared vision, the Pioneers of Queer Cinema program was conceived. The organizers and supporters of this series hope to introduce and reacquaint audiences with landmark queer works and their makers, while inspiring new conversations and renewed action surrounding the complex obstacles LGBTQ+ communities continue to face.

Program includes Kenneth Anger’s Fireworks (1947), Mike Kuchar’s Seascape (1984), Zackary Drucker’s At Least You Know You Exist (2011) and Barbara Hammer’s Nitrate Kisses (1992).
