Dive into a captivating collection of short films that explore the intricate and powerful theme of memory. Mooncake is an experimental meditation on gender queerness, revisiting an unnamed subject's childhood memories to uncover the nascent fantasies that shaped their identity. This docu-fictional film prompts us to reflect on what we can learn from our formative fascinations and how they re-emerge in our lives. In Re-Entry, a trans scientist must confront her painful past when she rediscovers a lost satellite from her former life as a NASA engineer, forcing her to reconcile who she once was with who she has always been. Meanwhile, Neo Nahda follows a young woman's feverish journey in London as she uncovers archive photographs of Arab women cross-dressing in the 1920s, revealing lost histories and sparking a deeper understanding of her own identity. These films delve deeply into how our memories shape our present selves and influence our futures. In Do Digital Curanderas Use Eggs in Their Limpias? a struggling Latinx healer considers abandoning the physical world for a digital utopia, reflecting on past disillusionments and future promises. All the Words but the One sees Maya and Santiago, once lovers, unexpectedly seated across from each other at a professional dinner with their new partners. Maya navigates a minefield of delicate dynamics, reliving painful and electric memories, as past and present collide, forcing her to confront Santiago at last. Finally, The Sea Runs Thru My Veins is a poetic, stream-of-consciousness documentary featuring four protagonists grappling with difficult life circumstances and personal challenges, each sharing their perspectives on happiness. Through these powerful narratives, the films invite viewers to explore how memories, both cherished and painful, profoundly shape our identities and our understanding of happiness. —Queer Rhapsody Senior Programmer Martine McDonald Mooncake U.S., 2022 | Narrative Mooncake is an experimental meditation on gender queerness and the blurred lines between influence, desire and obsession.

Baby Doll U.S., 1956 Baby Doll, the tour de force first screenplay of noted playwright Tennessee Williams, is taken from his play 27 Seven Wagons Full of Cotton. Director Elia Kazan puts his comical stamp on this look at marriage between Baby Doll (Carroll Baker), a 19-year-old child-like woman, who keeps her husband, Archie Lee Meighan (Karl Malden), a failed cotton gin owner, waiting until her 20th birthday to consummate their marriage. Filmed in Beniot, Mississippi, with African American locals given bit roles lending this film an air of authenticity, Baby Doll was considered risqué at the time of its release. Despite leaving much to the imagination, the allure and the salaciousness of the film and its promotions earned the condemnation of the Catholic Legion of Decency and made it a sleeper hit of 1956 before it went on to win four Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Actress. 35mm, b&w, 116 min. Director: Elia Kazan. Screenwriter: Tennessee Williams. With: Karl Malden, Carroll Baker, Mildred Dunlock, Eli Wallach. Restoration funding provided by The Film Foundation. Restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Location: Billy Wilder Theater
