Smut Capital of America: Screening and Discussion with Michael Stabile Smut Capital of America
Smut Capital of America is the title of Michael Stabile’s in-progress documentary which chronicles San Francisco's reign as the center of porn production in the U.S. during the early 70s. In 1969, San Francisco became the first city in the U.S. to effectively legalize pornography, hugely boosting our reputation as a boomtown for sex, and eventually opening up the floodgates to the rest of the country. The series begins with a screening/discussion with Stabile and continues through August 18 with a wide variety of films made during the era. All will be presented in their original film formats (not digital transfers). Series Films are: PORNOGRAPHY IN DENMARK, by Alex de Renzy, July 21, 2011 7:30pm; PASSING STRANGERS by Arthur J. Bressan, Jr. July 28, 2011, 7:30pm; HARD SHORTS, August 4, 2011, 7:30pm; THE MEATRACK by Richard Stockton (Michael Thomas) August 5, 2011, 7:30pm; STREETWALKERS August 11, 2011, 7:30pm; WILDCARD NIGHT (surprise screening) August 18, 2011 7:30pm; and RESURRECTION OF EVE by Jon Fontana and Artie Mitchell, August 25, 2011, 7:30pm.
