BORN IN FLAMES | Outfest Los Angeles LGBT Film Festival

Writer / director / living legend Lizzie Borden and cast member Adele Bertei in person to screen this feminist classic on 16mm! A part of the Outfest UCLA Legacy Project 10th Anniversary Series. Calling all badass feminists! BORN IN FLAMES, writer-director Lizzie Borden’s bold, unruly manifesto in the guise of a sci-fi film, blazed a trail for a generation of take-no-prisoners feminist and queer filmmakers. Borden’s futuristic tale unfolds in an America where, despite a socialist revolution, gender, racial, and sexual equality remain a dream deferred. After a black militant feminist leader is assassinated in prison, an underground army takes to the streets and airwaves to finish the job. Dir. Lizzie Borden | 1983, USA, 80 min. Special thanks to the UCLA Film & Television Archive. MEMBERSHIP: http://www.outfest.org/membership
