Memorizing MIX: The First 15 Years
$$ BUY TICKETS
Program I: Dispatches From the Front, 1987-92
In the first festival, MIX presented one film that directly confronted the AIDS crisis. In the second festival, there were 4. By the fourth festival, almost every film was informed by AIDS. On our 15th anniversary, collective amnesia and scarcity of work about AIDS has become a crisis in itself, making it crucial to revisit this earlier work. These are some of the most powerful works MIX has ever shown--urgent, raw, incisive and terrifyingly beautiful. Featuring work by Lawrence Brose, Carl Michael George, Tania Cypriano and Matthias Müller. Curated by Jim Hubbard, MIX Co-Director 1987-92. Come to the Memorizing MIX reception at Wonderbar (505 East 6th Street) on Saturday, Nov. 17, 7pm.

Curated by Christine Bacareza Balance and Gigi Otalvaro-Hormillosa.
