Virtual Film Screening of "Kamikaze Hearts"
& Filmmaker Talk with Juliet Bashore
Join us for a special presentation of the landmark 1986 queer quasi-docudrama "Kamikaze Hearts" broadcasting live to a global audience, followed by a filmmaker talk with director Juliet Bashore.
"Vibrant. Gritty. Enthralling!"
- San Francisco Chronicle
"A startling potent and continuously riveting film with no taboos left to break."
- The Village Voice
"Kamikaze Hearts" depicts the personal lives of Sharon Mitchell -- a porn queen of her day -- and her girlfriend, Tigr, as they negotiate the ups and downs of life and relationships in the adult film business. Or does it? Originally titled Fact or Fiction, its realism kept audiences guessing. After its theatrical release, the film was hard to find, acquiring a cult status in the decades that followed.
Newly restored from its original negative, Bashore's plunge into the 1980s porn industry takes an unsparing look at issues of misogyny, drug abuse, and exploitation via the story of two women caught in a toxic romance. By turns mesmerizing and unsettling, the film is a fascinating record of pre-gentrification San Francisco's X-rated underground and an intense, searing love story.
