SUMMARY:Little Richard: I Am Everything
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents Little Richard: I Am Everything at Crosstown Theater. \nLisa Cortés / 2023 / 98 minutes / Not Rated\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nLike a quasar burning past the gaslight\, director Lisa Cortés’ eye-opening documentary explodes the whitewashed canon of American pop music. Little Richard: I Am Everything shines a clarifying light on the Black\, queer origins of rock ’n’ roll\, and establishes the genre’s big bang: Richard Wayne Penniman. Testimonials from legendary musicians and cultural figures\, Black and queer scholars\, and interviews with the artist himself all exuberantly reclaim a history that was willfully appropriated by white artists and institutions. Cortés updates the canon with a treasure trove of rarely seen archival footage of Penniman. Among the gems are scenes with his Black and queer predecessors and contemporaries\, like Sister Rosetta Tharpe\, the mother of rock ’n’ roll who gave 14-year-old Penniman his first break. Cortés depicts Penniman’s complex journey as a conflicted revolutionary who careened between religion\, sex\, and rock ’n’ roll\, navigating the extreme tensions of race and sexuality of his time. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Opening Night
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents Opening Night at Crosstown Theater. \nJohn Cassavetes / 1977 / 144 minutes / Rated PG-13\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nIn a role equally as fragile and mercurial as A Woman Under the Influence’s “Mabel”\, Gena Rowlands is Opening Night’s “Myrtle”: a successful actress going kind of crazy in a play about aging crazily. John Cassavetes’ hymn to that berserk business of performing\, Opening Night is enhanced by its intense “old Hollywood” pedigree as Ben Gazzara\, John Blondell\, Paul Stewart and Cassavetes himself are the backing band for Rowlands’ knife-edged soloing. From the first scene\, the narrative is peppered with turn-on-a-dime ambiguity. Whole swathes of action take place “onstage” in front of a real-life audience watching the in-character cast — with a permeable membrane between stage and “reality” so tangible it hurts. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.
