Gregg Araki: Teen Apocalypse Trilogy

Simultaneously ahead of their time and total 1990s time capsules, the films in Gregg Araki’s Teen Apocalypse Trilogy are odes to rebellion, nihilism, alternative music, and sexual fluidity. Alongside works by Sadie Benning, Todd Haynes, Isaac Julien, Marlon Riggs, and Gus Van Sant, these films helped define the New Queer Cinema movement of the 1990s and broadened onscreen portrayals of queer youth in new, confrontational, and radical directions. We’re excited to welcome Araki back to the Wexner Center to present glorious new 4K restorations that bring the films back to his original visions, before they were butchered, censored, and desaturated for their theatrical and home video releases.

Special thanks to Strand Releasing and Marcus Hu for these screenings.
