Conservative forces which seek to influence government policy have created a road map for the mass deportation of immigrants.

The protagonists of thid documentary, all immigrants themselves, express these values while exposing the border industrial complex that provides the scaffolding for the war on immigrants.

Screening | Queer Cinema: Five Works from the Nonfiction Avante Garde in 16mm
Representation as an aesthetic and a political imperative has often dominated discourses of “queer cinema”. In documentary and nonfiction forms, this tendency frequently doubles in measure. Avant-garde practices offer queer cinema a path out of this representational deadlock; where identity can be reimagined and renegotiated. This screening embraces this expansive framework of queer reality at the junction of portraiture and destabilization found in five distinct cinematic voices. These works, presented in their original 16mm format, make use of experimental and expressive montage, found footage, self-conscious performance, and radical sincerity.

Screening | World Premiere of Hip-Hop Documentary: Fat Beats, Performance by Fat Beats DJ, and Talk Back Panel
Back in the mid-nineties, DJ Jab (aka Joseph Abajian) opened Fat Beats, New York City's first Hip-Hop specialist music store in the Lower East Side. The shop rapidly became a nexus for the city's burgeoning underground rap community, evolving from cipher spot and culture matrix into an influential label and distributor in a matter of months. A list of artists releasing LPs on Fat Beats over the past three decades reads like a Mount Rushmore of indie rap, including Atmosphere, Black Milk, ILL BILL, Organized Konfusion, Talib Kweli, Madlib and Kool Keith to name only a few. Now headquartered on the west coast, Fat Beats remains a crucial part of NYC Hip-Hop history. In celebration of Fat Beats' 30th Anniversary, guest curator and the voice and personality of Spotify's AI DJ, Xavier "X" Jernigan, introduces the premiere of the new Fat Beats documentary film, accompanied by an opening set from a Fat Beats DJ and followed by a talk back panel, from the names that made the scene come to life.
