Something Weird Video’s Lisa Petrucci leads a lecture on Roberta Findlay and Doris Wishman, two unique filmmakers who were making sexploitation films at a time when it was extremely uncommon for women to direct films. Petrucci traces their trajectory and quirky visual styles from nudies and roughies in the 1960s to porn and horror films in the 1970s and ’80s. There may be some surprise guest speakers and all attendees will take home a “delightfully depraved free artifact.”
This event is a collaboration between The Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies and the UCLA Film and Television Archive for the series Catch a Thrill! Celebrating 10 Years of the American Genre Film Archive.
