DESCRIPTION:\n	This program pairs two of the most accomplished uses of supe
 rimposition in underground film\, transporting drag glamour into a psyched
 elic\, cubist-like dimension. The screenings will be followed by a lively 
 debate about the legacy of the queer aesthetic in which the spectacle of f
 ashion plays a dominant role\, from the shimmering dresses in Kenneth Ange
 r’s Puce Moment to Jack Smith’s reimagining of 1940s Hollywood Orientalism
  to the stunning\, surreal imagery of Steven Arnold. Ronald Gregg is senio
 r lecturer in American Studies and Film Studies at Yale University. Stuart
  Comer is curator of film at Tate Modern\, London. Agosto Machado is a leg
 endary figure in New York experimental theater. \n	\n	\n	Lupe \n	\n	Dir. J
 ose Rodriguez-Soltero. 1966. 50 mins. 16mm. With Mario Montez\, Charles Lu
 dlam. A visually stunning celebration of the life and death of Mexican Hol
 lywood star Lupe Velez\, Rodriguez-Soltero’s film is an ecstatic explosion
  of color\, costume\, music\, camp performance\, and multiple superimposit
 ions. Unconstrained by any given style\, Rodriguez-Soltero drew inspiratio
 n from experimental film\; Latin American\, pop\, and classical music\; tr
 ash culture\; experimental theater\; and Kenneth Anger’s Hollywood Babylon
 . Lupe is also a love poem to underground star Mario Montez\, who designed
  his own sensational costumes. \n\n\n	Chumlum \n	\n	Dir. Ron Rice. 1964. 4
 5 mins. 16mm print. With Jack Smith\, Beverly Grant\, Mario Montez. Before
  his untimely death in Mexico in 1964\, Ron Rice was among the most charis
 matic figures of the New York underground. Chumlum is filled with intricat
 e superimpositions that mix indoor and outdoor milieus and a colorful gagg
 le including Jack Smith and Mario Montez as they loll about in a riot of c
 ostume and color. \n	\n	\n	Free with Museum admission. \n	\n
