An Illustrated Lecture by Daniel Mangin When gay men and lesbians take to the streets outraged by negative imagery in Hollywood films, just what are they protesting? Local film historian and teacher Daniel Mangin addresses this question and many more in this informative, ironically humorous, and sometimes disturbing illustrated lecture, a reprise of his sell-out show at the 1991 San Francisco International Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. "Psychokillers and Twisted Sisters" is an unabashed look at some of mainstream cinema's most persistent and perverse stereotypes, including the gay man as craven killer and the lesbian as driven predator. Video clips from American movies circa 1930-1991 dominate, but the presentation.includes remarkable scenes from Chinese, German, Italian, French and British films as well. Among the assortment of stars featured are Barbara Stanwyck, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Sylvia Miles, Candice Bergen, Lee Van Cleef, Rod Steiger, David Carradine and Elizabeth Ashley. The stereotypical images addressed are not limited to the psychopath film, but cross all genres-the serious drama, the camp comedy, the thriller-as Mangin's lecture amply illustrates. Inspired by the cross-dressing killer in The Silence of the Lambs and the ice pick-wielding lesbian in the upcoming Basic Instincts, "Psychokillers and Twisted Sisters" shows that the malevolent image of gay men and lesbians is itself a serial crime.
