### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Spanish with English subtitles.*

An Academy Award–winning dark fable set five years after the end of the Spanish Civil War, PAN’S LABYRINTH encapsulates the rich visual style and genre-defying craft of Guillermo del Toro. Eleven-year-old Ofelia (Ivana Baquero, in a mature and tender performance) comes face to face with the horrors of fascism when she and her pregnant mother are uprooted to the countryside, where her new stepfather (Sergi López), a sadistic captain in General Francisco Franco’s army, hunts down Republican guerrillas refusing to give up the fight. The violent reality in which Ofelia lives merges seamlessly with her fantastical interior world when she meets a faun in a decaying labyrinth and is set on a strange, mythic journey that is at once terrifying and beautiful. In his revisiting of this bloody period in Spanish history, del Toro creates a vivid depiction of the monstrosities of war infiltrating a child’s imagination and threatening the innocence of youth.

Double Indemnity

For those who prefer their “dark” and “broody” with a side of milk and cookies, BRICK is the first  neo-noir whodunit from writer-director and KNIVES OUT mastermind, Rian Johnson. Joseph Gordon Levitt is Brendan Frye, a loner and high-school Sam Spade, who knows all the angles but can’t make sense of the picture when his ex-girlfriend is found dead. In his search for the truth, he’ll wind his way through cliques he previously avoided to trade barbs with cheerleaders who give a “D” for danger on the way to uncover the mysterious “Pin.” Featuring a veritable who’s who of ‘00s Hollywood, including Lukas Haas, Nora Zehetner, Emilie de Ravin and Megan Goode, BRICK is as much a hard-boiled pulp homage as it is a BUGSY MALONE for the “Forever 21&#8221;-set.

Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s first bona fide masterpiece and one of the best films of the 21st century, *Happy Hour* emerged from a workshop in 2013 with non-professional actors — some of whom ended up in the final film. Proof positive of the effectiveness of Hamaguchi’s improvisational, communal working method to this point in his career, there’s never a slack moment in its runtime of just over five hours as the group of women friends at its center navigate middle-age. Indeed, as Hamaguchi elevates his recurring themes of transition and change to sociological levels he seems to sharpen the drama’s intimacy and intensity.—*Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm*

In the film, a pizza delivery person (Greg Diaz) dies while on the job, leaving three orders unfulfilled. Mourning him, a young woman (Rosie Wilt) spends a lost weekend donning and doffing multiple sullen personas—a pierrot, an ill-fated grunge star, a Chanel-suited First Lady. As she explores grief through cosplay, the spectre of the driver returns to finish his work. Those awaiting their orders—a handful of loners spangled across California’s San Gabriel Valley—receive their pizzas, and perhaps, an encounter with the beyond.

MORBID WEEKEND weds contemplative duration and passages of experimental abstraction with ghost story spookiness and sly humor. The film explores the roles we play at work, in our creative practices, and when we think no one else is around. It features music by one of LA’s best bands, 2070, and a driving minimalist score by Brian Sullivan (Mouthus, United Waters). Luca Cioci’s stunning photography captures the soft blue evenings of LA’s other valley—a mountain-hugged expanse east of Hollywood and inland from the coast. The film’s cast boasts a mix of LA-based filmmakers, musicians, writers, designers, and craftspeople, as well as canine and feline celebrities.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Small-time mobster Nicky (John Cassavetes) is holed up in a fleabag motel after finding out the boss he stole money from has put a hit out on him. Terrified and with nowhere to run, he calls on Mikey (Peter Falk), his oldest friend and the one person he thinks can save him. But does Mikey actually want to help Nicky this time, or is he merely leading him to his doom? 

Inspired by real-life figures from filmmaker Elaine May’s own childhood and anchored by electrifying performances from its stars—alongside supporting players Ned Beatty, Joyce Van Patten and Carol Grace—MIKEY AND NICKY is a harrowing portrait of male friendship turned tragic and a masterpiece of American cinema.

**Screenwriters**: Wim Wenders, Peter Handke

**Producers**: Wim Wenders, Anatole Dauman

Like an ethereal dream, Wim Wenders&#8217; poetic masterpiece is both a visual marvel and a universal story of the transformative power of love, even for the immortal. Two angels shift through the foggy streets of Berlin, devoid of attachment to the mortals they serve, until one angel falls in love with a trapeze artist and begins to feel a longing for corporeality and human connection. With sublime cinematography by Henri Alekan, a musical soundtrack that includes Nick Cave, and an (other)worldly Peter Falk playing himself, this gorgeous film is an unparalleled achievement in cinema.

BURNING is the searing examination of an alienated young man, Jongsu (Ah-in Yoo), a frustrated introvert whose already difficult life is complicated by the appearance of two people in his orbit: first, Haemi (newcomer Jong-seo Jun), a spirited woman who offers the romantic possibility, and then, Ben (Steven Yeun), a wealthy and sophisticated young man she returns from a trip with. However, when Jongsu learns of Ben’s mysterious hobby and Haemi suddenly disappears, his confusion and obsessions begin to mount, culminating in a stunning finale.

Yongho (Sul Kyung-gu) stares down an oncoming train as twenty years of his life flash before his eyes. Proceeding to move backward in time, Lee’ Chang-dong's acclaimed second directorial feature rewinds the protagonist's loss of humanity - from his fraught, self-hating middle age through his callow teens. The moments in between these events, as seen through the lens of Yongho’s oppressive struggles, mirror South Korea’s traumatic political history during the late 20th century.

An official selection of the Directors' Fortnight selection in Cannes and winner of the Special Prize of the Jury at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, PEPPERMINT CANDY is a powerful work of Korean New Wave cinema that elegizes a generation of marginalized people with “quiet, heartbreaking power” (The New York Times).

*Archive Talks* pairs leading historians and scholars with screenings of the moving image media that is the focus of their writing and research. Each program will begin with a special talk by the invited scholar that will introduce audiences to new insights, interpretations and contexts for the films and media being screened.

This screening will be preceded by a book signing of *Banton of Paramount: Haute Couture in Hollywood’s Golden Age* with author Howard Gutner beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the lobby.

*Special thanks to our community partner: [Art Deco Society of Los Angeles](https://artdecola.org/)*

The playboy and thief Gaston (Herbert Marshall) meets the expert pickpocket Lily (Miriam Hopkins) on the Riviera, and they, of course, fall in love. In Paris, Gaston gets a job as the personal secretary to a wealthy heiress to a perfume company, Mariette (Kay Francis), hiring Lily as the maid, so they can rob her blind. Unfortunately, while cleaning up the corruption on her company’s board, he also falls in love with her. No director was better at exposing the false morality of the bourgeoisie when pursuing sexual desire. Here, Ernst Lubitsch sets up a faux marriage, then turns the relationship into a ménage à trois, which he provocatively suggests may be the best way to keep a sexual relationship interesting and stable. Lubitsch’s direction of actors is almost Pirandellian, with the actors speaking their emotional lines in a virtual monotone, thus creating parodies of romantic love.

On display in this luscious pre-Code comedic romance is the creative genius of Travis Banton, one of Hollywood’s most important costume designers, whose collaborators included Lubitsch, Marlene Dietrich and Josef von Sternberg. A conversation on Banton’s influence and evocative style, with author Howard Gutner and Professor Deborah Nadoolman Landis, will precede the screening.

Director: Ernst Lubitsch. Screenwriter: Samson Raphaelson. With: Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis, Herbert Marshall, Charles Ruggles.

*The Daytrippers*, directed by late-aughts comedy mainstay Greg Mottola (*Superbad*, *Adventureland*), follows one crazy day in the life of the dysfunctional Malone family as they embark on a frenzied odyssey through New York City. When eldest daughter Eliza (Hope Davis) finds a love letter addressed to her husband (Stanley Tucci), the whole family—including Eliza’s younger sister Jo (an effortlessly cool Parker Posey in the most dazzling pair of red leg warmers), mother Rita (comedy legend Anne Meara), father Jim (Pat McNamara), and Jo’s fiancé Carl (a baby-faced Liev Schreiber)—squeezes into a station wagon trekking from Long Island to the city in search of answers. The group stumbles and bickers through encounters with distinctly New York oddballs, artists, and elitists but no one is prepared for when their sleuthing leads to a devastating revelation. Anchored by standout performances from Posey, Davis, and Meara, Greg Mottola&#8217;s family road-trip from hell is a hilarious, clever, and surprisingly poignant indie gem.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Cameron Winter, in December 2025, after a months-long sold-out tour with his band Geese, returned to New York to play a single show at Carnegie Hall. This is the movie.

Directed and shot on 35mm and 16mm by Oscar-winning filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson (ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER), the crew includes filmmaker and actor Benny Safdie (THE SMASHING MACHINE) and music producer Ariel Rechtshaid (Grammy winner for albums with Vampire Weekend and Adele).

GQ praised Cameron Winter’s show at Carnegie Hall as “staggeringly good,” and Nick Cave said he has a “a glorious, emotive voice with brilliant, blistering words, a racked and wondrous thing.” Winter’s solo album *Heavy Metal* was named one of the best of the year by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Paste and Mojo and Geese’s last record *Getting Killed* was named the best album of 2025 by The New Yorker, NME and Stereogum.

Everyone has an ex they’d rather forget; now, you can. For Joel (Jim Carrey), the culmination of his on-again, off-again relationship with Clementine (Kate Winslet) is the erasure of him from her memory. Thanks to a breakthrough procedure from Dr. Howard Mierzwiak (Tom Wilkinson), he too can wipe the experience from his mind, but his heart is a different matter. As he courses through the years of make-ups and break-ups, though the memories fade, the love remains, but for how long? A visionary experiment in love from the minds of writer Charlie Kaufman and director Michel Gondry.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Mandarin with English subtitles.*

Nineteen-year-old Songlian, a promising student whose family has been destroyed by her father’s death, is forced to abandon her studies and marry into wealth, becoming the fourth and newest concubine of the aging, unseen Master Chen. Inside his walled estate, she discovers a household ruled by a merciless ritual: each night, red lanterns are lit outside the chambers of whichever wife the master chooses to visit, granting her privilege and status while the others are cast into cold irrelevance. Songlian is drawn into the orbit of her rivals, each shaped by years of fighting for the same scraps of attention. Determined at first to rise above the games, Songlian is gradually worn down by isolation and humiliation until she strikes back, trading secrets and favors to secure her place in Master Chen’s hierarchy. As petty cruelty turns even more dire, Songlian is forced to confront what these desperate measures will cost her soul. Newly restored, the film stands as one of the defining works of Fifth Generation Chinese cinema and international film of the 1990s.

**“Rosalie,” 1966, Dir. Walerian Borowczyk, 15 Mins, Friends of Walerian Borowcyzk, France**

*In French with English subtitles.*

Of all his films, Borowczyk’s favorite was “Rosalie.” Based on a short story by Guy de Maupassant, Borowczyk relates the plight of a servant girl who killed and buried her child in the garden. Featuring a profoundly touching performance by Ligia Borowczyk, once again Borowczyk uses animated objects to relate (horrific) action indirectly. An over-exposed, chiaroscuro image gives the proceedings an ethereal quality halfway between one of Beckett’s monologues and David Lynch’s ERASERHEAD.

Down on their luck punk rockers The Ain’t Rights are finishing up a long and unsuccessful tour, and are about to call it quits when they get an unexpected booking at an isolated, run-down club deep in the backwoods of Oregon. What seems merely to be a third-rate gig escalates into something much more sinister when they witness an act of violence backstage that they weren’t meant to see. Now trapped backstage, they must face off against the club’s depraved owner, Darcy Banker (Stewart), a man who will do anything to protect the secrets of his nefarious enterprise. But while Darcy and his henchmen think the band will be easy to get rid of, The Ain’t Rights prove themselves much more cunning and capable than anyone expected, turning the tables on their unsuspecting captors and setting the stage for the ultimate life-or-death showdown.

Josie and the Pussycats

**Screenwriter**: Ken Russell from the stage play by John Whiting and the novel *The Devils of Loudon* by Aldous Huxley

**Producers**: Ken Russell, Robert H. Solo

Ken Russell&#8217;s lavishly deranged and gloriously sacrilegious masterpiece comes to Vidiots in a beautiful new restoration on glorious 35mm celluloid! One of the most controversial films of all time, Ken Russell&#8217;s outrageous masterpiece can finally be seen in ALL its glory, with the complete cut finally restored after 55 years of censorship. A film that is as fundamentally important in its political lessons as it is funny, romantic, and jaw-droppingly beautiful, it is a one-of-a-kind cinematic spectacle meant to be experienced on the big screen. In 1634 France, charismatic Father Urbain Grandier becomes the target of a sexually obsessed nun’s witchcraft accusations, which corrupt church and state officials are all too happy to exploit.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ With exquisite set design from Derek Jarman, unbelievable performances from Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave (and everyone else in the cast), some of the most audacious footage in cinema history, and a message it&#8217;s necessary for every generation to hear, you need to drop everything and prepare yourself for the phenomenon!

And if you need another helping of nunsploitation, don&#8217;t miss an ultra-rare screening of Juan López Moctezuma&#8217;s [***Alucarda***](https://vidiotsfoundation.org/movies/alucarda/) on November 21st.

The Devils on 35mm

**Screenwriters**: David Lynch, Barry Gifford

**Producers**: Steve Golin, Michael Kuhn, Sigurjon Sighvatsson

Ill-fated lovers Sailor and Lula (Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern) hit the road to escape a hit man and end up in an absurdly nightmarish landscape in David Lynch&#8217;s dark romantic fairy tale that earned the Palme d&#8217;Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1990.  A violent, erotic, and comedic take on the road movie, this high-octane adventure features an incredible cast, distinctly Lynchian iconography, and (as always) a score by the legendary Angelo Badalamenti. Based on the outrageously enjoyable novel by Barry Gifford.

Wild at Heart

**Producers**: Liani Greaves,  Anne De Mare

A decade after his death, genre-defying filmmaker William Greaves has one last trick up his sleeve with what he considered the most important event he captured on film: a 1972 party he engineered with the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance. For four hours, this extraordinary group – many of whom had not seen each other in fifty years – reminisced, critiqued, argued, laughed and drank while wrestling with their place in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. 

Shot on 16mm film, newly restored and now directed by Greaves’ son David, this landmark film is at once a self-exploration and an inquiry into the heart of the critical mass of energy called the Harlem Renaissance. William Greaves’ intent was not only to document these artists and intellectuals as they spoke about their lives and work but also to plumb the meaning of the extraordinary creative period in which they lived to help us better understand how culture has been passed on from one generation to another and the role that the artist plays in keeping it alive.

Once Upon a Time in Harlem

**Screenwriter**: William Gibson

**Producer**: Don Carmody

We know you can&#8217;t get Keanu out of your head, even when he&#8217;s storing all your data inside his own brain! In a dystopian 2021, Johnny is a data trafficker who has an implant that allows him to securely store data too sensitive for regular computer networks. On one delivery run, he accepts a package that not only exceeds the implant&#8217;s safety limits—and will kill him if the data is not removed in time—but also contains information far more important and valuable than he had ever imagined. On a race against time, he must avoid the assassins sent to kill him and remove the data before it, too, ends his life. A super fun sci-fi thrill ride with a killer cast that includes Ice-T, Dolph Lundgren, and Takeshi Kitano, and an increasingly prescient message &#8211; *Johnny Mnemonic* is one hell of a mind-trip!

Johnny Mnemonic on 35mm

**Screenwriters**: Samuel Abrahams,  Miranda Campbell Bowling

**Producers**: Stewart Le Maréchal,  Anna Mohr-Pietsch

Join us in the microcinema for this magnificently absurd mockumentary with eye-popping imagery and a deliciously off-kilter performance by Sian Clifford. Deluded aristocrat Lady Isabella (Sian Clifford) hires struggling director Sam (Laurie Kynaston) to document life at her imposing country estate, Ravenhyde Hall. When he discovers that the promise of a Netflix commission was a lie, and that Isabella only wants him there to film her taking part in a ridiculously low-stakes regional talent show held at the Hall, he’s ready to quit—until he realizes the narcissistic Lady is, quite literally, turning invisible. 

Seeing a chance to revive his faltering career, Sam keeps filming under the guise of helping Isabella prepare for her big performance. Supporting her also means reluctantly stepping in front of the camera himself, becoming Isabella’s unlikely muse and revealing a vulnerability he’d rather hide. 

Though from different worlds, they form an unexpected bond, but when Sam uncovers the tragic reason Isabella hasn’t left Ravenhyde Hall in years, he questions whether his film exploits her trauma. As the talent show approaches and Isabella’s invisibility spreads, can they both confront their fears before she disappears completely?

Dazed and Confused

Wendell & Wild

Stromboli in 35mm

The creators of Wallace & Gromit bring you an exciting and original story about a group of chickens determined to fly the coop–even if they can’t fly! It’s hardly poultry in motion when Rocky attempts to teach Ginger and her feathered friends to fly…but, with teamwork, determination and a little bit o’ cluck, the fearless flock plots one last attempt in a spectacular bid for freedom.

Chicken Run

Varda focuses her eye on gleaners: those who scour already-reaped fields for the odd potato or turnip. Her investigation leads from forgotten corners of the French countryside to off-hours at the green markets of Paris, following those who insist on finding a use for that which society has cast off, whether out of necessity or activism.

The Gleaners and I

In post-apocalyptic France, a butcher is murdering some juicy humans and selling off their meats. Our hero has a pretty squishy face in a movie that&#8217;s surprisingly quite the romp considering its subject matter. How did Jeunet and Caro get their films so yellow?

Delicatessen

A mathematical genius discovers a link between numbers and reality, and thus believes he can predict the future.

*Made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment*

Premiering on NBC on October 17, 1966, *Hollywood Squares* became one of the most popular game shows in television history, with over 4,000 episodes of the original network incarnation produced through 1981. The longevity of the simple tic-tac-toe game was driven in large part by the show’s charismatic, quick-witted host, Peter Marshall. A talented actor and nightclub comedian, Marshall breezily tackled the daunting task of corralling the series’ boisterous, rotating stable of nine celebrities, setting up punchlines and volleying retorts with equal aplomb. 

While high-wattage superstars such as Vincent Price and Sammy Davis Jr. often guested, the literal center of *Hollywood Squares’ *towering, neon-lit set featured an icon like no other — actor and comedian Paul Lynde. Beloved by audiences of all stripes, Lynde routinely brought down the house with bawdy ad-libs and double entendres — delivered impeccably with a knowing wink. Painfully closeted in his personal life to protect his showbiz career, Lynde turned conventional wisdom of the day upside down, boldly introducing the masses to an undeniably empowered, queer-coded persona previously unseen on television. 

Join us as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the premiere of *Hollywood Squares* and the birth centennials of Peter Marshall and Paul Lynde. Two preserved episodes will be screened, complete with original commercials, as well as an extended clip reel showcasing a galaxy of guest stars, risque retorts and the genius of Paul Lynde.

*Programmed and notes written by John H. Mitchell Television Curator Mark Quigley.*

*With original commercials! *

THE STORY OF SIN

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Exorcist II: The Heretic

Fi Rassi Rond Point

1927 - Silent • With Live Accompaniment by Mark Herman on the Mighty Wurlitzer • Introduction by Randy Haberkamp • Silent film doesn’t get more powerful than this, and it’s one of those titles that reminds you what the medium could do without a word of dialogue. At the very first Academy Awards, Janet Gaynor won Best Actress for this film, and the cinematography and camera movement were way ahead of their time.

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans

1961 • Paul Newman gives one of his best performances, and Jackie Gleason is great in a role people still talk about. This was a major Oscar contender and it won for both Art Direction and Cinematography. • Show begins with music on the Mighty Wurlitzer and an old fashioned sing-along.

**Producers:** Anatole Dauman, Don Guest

Our beloved Harry Dean Stanton stars in *Paris, Texas,* a profoundly moving character study written by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Sam Shepard. New German Cinema pioneer Wim Wenders (*Wings of Desire*) brings his keen eye for landscape to the American Southwest and this story of a mysterious, nearly mute drifter Travis (a magnificent Stanton, whose face is a landscape all its own) as he tries to reconnect with his young son and his missing wife (Nastassja Kinski). From this simple setup, Wenders and Shepard produce a powerful statement on codes of masculinity and the myth of the American family, as well as an exquisite visual exploration of a vast, crumbling world of canyons and neon.

**Producers**: Eduardo Moreno, Max Guefen, Juan López Moctezuma

A jaw-dropping deep cut of Satanic Cinema, Juan López Moctezuma&#8217;s *Alucarda* is treasure of Mexican Horror dying to be rediscovered at large. School girls cavorting with Baphomet and dabbling in sapphic secrets, self-flagelatting nuns wrapped in bloody gauze, this woefully underseen masterpiece is a whole new level of horror, hungry for new eyes to witness its exquisite strangeness. A young girl&#8217;s arrival at a convent after the death of her parents marks the beginning of a series of events that unleash an evil presence on the girl and her mysterious new friend, an enigmatic figure known as Alucarda. Demonic possession, Satan worship, and vampirism follows. A protege of Alejandro Jodorowski, Moctezuma creates a nightmarish world that transcends beyond genre. Don&#8217;t miss this rare chance to see this unforgettable experience on our big screen!

The Favourite

The Flowers of St. Francis (Francesco, giullare di Dio) in 35mm

Peanut butter is the secret ingredient for magic potions made by two friendly ghosts. Eleven-year-old Michael loses all of his hair when he gets a fright and uses the potion to get his hair back, but too much peanut butter causes things to get a bit hairy.

The Peanut Butter Solution

In this unauthorized adaptation of the first two Flash Gordon story arcs, the world&#8217;s greatest astronaut, Roy del Espacio, is sent to Mars with Dr. Faz and psychologist Helena to investigate the cosmic rays coming from the planet. What ensues is a space epic of recognizable proportions.

Roy del Espacio

A down and out young punk gets a job working with a seasoned repo man, but what awaits him in his new career is a series of outlandish adventures revolving around aliens, the CIA, and a most wanted &#8217;64 Chevy.

Repo Man

It was one of the great, untold love stories of the 20th century. For fifty years, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown shared a life of profound tenderness, sharp wit, and creative joy. They also sparked a revolution in architecture, challenging the rigid modernism of the era with their embrace of complexity, symbolism, and the lessons of the everyday landscape.

Filmed with astonishing intimacy by their son, Stardust invites you to see the world through their eyes. It’s a road-movie journey to the places that meant the most to them—including Rome, Venice, Paris, London, Philadelphia, and Las Vegas. Along the way, you’ll witness their witty, subversive shorthand, quiet battles against a male-dominated establishment (including the infamous Pritzker Prize snub), and the enduring partnership that redefined architectural collaboration.

Praised by The New York Times and The Guardian, Stardust is a funny, moving, and deeply human portrait—a film to fall in love with.

The film makers: 

Jim Venturi (director & producer) and Anita Naughton (writer & editor) are the filmmakers of Stardust. Jim’s debut documentary offers a rare and personal look at his parents’ lives, informed by over a decade of filming and dozens of interviews with architects, artists and collaborators from all over the world. In addition to directing and producing Stardust, he also leads ReThink Studio, a think-tank based in New York City.

Anita is the writer and editor of Stardust and has been credited with creating an engaging and moving portrait of these two brilliant and subversive figures. Her book Tea & Sympathy is about her waitressing days in Greenwich Village. Naughton has just finished a rom-com set in Italy and is working on their next film, Denise Scott Brown: No Apologies.

Director Markus Zizenbacher in person and a video introduction by Brontez Purnell!

A sexually liberated black and queer song of Simi Valley to Silver Lake with a personal history of LA punk in between, *The Life of Sean DeLear* is a moving, exciting, touching, funny, sweet, and deeply affectionate tribute to the iconic Sean D. Featuring glimpses of his band Glue, his time living with Susan Tyrrell, hanging with John Sex, encountering-- and creating-- celebrity myths and mysteries, the film also includes interviews with Ann Magnuson, Redd Kross, Rick Owens, and more.

"This portrait-documentary tells the story of musician, performance artist and scenster Sean DeLear. From his early childhood in Simi Valley to the posthumous publication of his teenage diaries. It is a vibrant trip through the underground scene of LA, New York and Vienna using his video, foto, and diary archive... Sean documented his whole life from 8mm to Hi8 to digital, in fotos and writing since the late 70s. It is an inspiring collection of flashlights through the last decades that show a vivid testimonial of the music and art scene, the changing of media included. - Zizenbacher

"Like a young Diana Ross, Sean DeLear was all ferocity and vulnerability..."—Rick Owens
