Wed September 15, 2021 7:00 PM WORKING GIRLS $8.00 (member) ; $13.00 (general admission) Los Feliz 3 | Q&A following with Lizzie Borden, moderated by Anna Biller
ABOUT THE FILM Sex work is portrayed with radical nonjudgment in Lizzie Borden’s immersive, richly detailed look at the rhythms and rituals of society’s most stigmatized profession. Inspired by the experiences of the sex workers Borden met while making her underground feminist landmark BORN IN FLAMES, WORKING GIRLS reveals the textures of a day in the life of Molly (Louise Smith), a photographer working part-time in a Manhattan brothel, as she juggles a steady stream of clients, balances relationships with her coworkers with the demands of an ambitious madam, and above all fights to maintain her sense of self in a business in which the line between the personal and the professional is all too easily blurred. New 4K restoration by the Criterion Collection and UCLA Film & Television Archive in conjunction with Sundance Institute. FORMAT: DCP DISTRIBUTOR: Janus Films VIEW SERIES
