30/30 Vision: 3 Decades of Strand Releasing | The Living End

To commemorate its 30th anniversary, Hu invited 30 leading filmmakers from around the world to contribute a one-minute film. When screened together, the projects constitute a moving and delirious celebration of the art of cinema. You’ll see footage by numerous Wex guests, including Karim Aïnouz, Catherine Breillat, Claire Denis, John Waters, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. (approx. 65 mins., DCP) 

After the screening, Hu joins filmmaker Gregg Araki to discuss his participation in the Strand project. To round out the evening Araki, an icon of the 1990s’ New Queer Cinema movement, will introduce a screening of his landmark film The Living End, about a drifter and a film critic, both gay and HIV positive, who embark on a freewheeling road trip together. (81 mins., DCP)
