A limited number of advance tickets to a reception preceding the screening are available at $15 (films and reception). Though Marlon Riggs is best known for his highly acclaimed Tongues Untied, the daring and celebratory exploration of black gay life, subsequent works have confirmed his pioneering efforts. The rousing Anthem (1991, 9 mins) unabashedly calls for the "self-evident right" to live life unimpeded. Sensual images of African American men are lyrically politicized as an assertive provocation to the anti-gay backlash. No Regrets (Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien) (1992, 38 mins) reverberates with the voices of six seropositive black gay men who talk of their personal confrontations with AIDS. Through self-assertion, these men have learned the therapeutic power of untying their tongues. The Peabody Award-winning documentary Color Adjustment (88 mins) is the first substantial work to examine the relationship between network TV and race consciousness. Riggs meticulously tracks the optimism of the Civil Rights struggle and television's inability to challenge its own role in maintaining a blanched version of the American Dream. During this special evening, friends and colleagues will honor Marlon Riggs through performance and words of praise.-Steve Seid
