Tongues Untied: 30th Anniversary Screening
330 Park Boulevard, San Diego, 92101
Cost: Free
Join us for a 30th anniversary screening of the ground-breaking film "Tongues Untied" by late filmmaker Marlon Riggs. Film curator Cornelius Moore, a colleague of Riggs' who was involved in the film's production and appeared in the cast will lead a Q&A after the film. Made to “shatter this nation’s brutalizing silence on matters of sexual and racial difference”, this bold and beautiful film combines poetry, performance, and music into a personal and universal statement on the experiences and resulting persecution of Black gay men. Met with a storm of controversy that reached all the way to Congress, Tongues Untied remains a radical act of representation.
