Cantankerous king-of-the perverts Larry Flynt rolled into the L.A.’s Cinefamily theatre last night to curate his fraught and freaky lifetime with TV clips, documentary excerpts, magazine clippings, hate mail and much, much more.
At 71, you’d think Larry Flynt would be long past the old schoolhouse rouse of Show & Tell. But at L.A.'s Cinefamily, leading actualizers of far-fetched media “what ifs,” the Hustler founder is making an appearance to curate his personal collection of rare TV clips, interviews and ephemera.
L.A.’s own Cinefamily is getting “artcore” this weekend with three nights of erotic, out-there programming, “Sexperiments: A Collection of Turned-On Cinema.”
In 1895, the Lumiere brothers introduced the world to film — short, dreamy sequences of ordinary life, workers leaving a factory, a goldfish swimming and most famously, “Arrival of a Train at a Station.” About a decade later, celluloid technology had been appropriated to film hardcore sex.
Ladies and gents, put on your monocles and get ready to study coitus quietus — Cinefamily is hosting the special event “The History of Silent Film” at 8 p.m. tonight.
