August 29 WED 7:30pm:
A special screening presented by MGLFF,
The Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival...
Gus Van Sant’s first feature! Mala Noche (1985)
Presented in a newly restored 35mm print!
With its low budget and lush
black-and-white imagery, Gus Van Sant's debut feature Mala Noche heralded an
idiosyncratic, provocative new voice in American independent film. Set in Van Sant's
hometown of Portland, Oregon, the film evokes a world of transient workers, dead-end
day-shifters, and bars and seedy apartments bathed in a profound nighttime, as it follows
a romantic deadbeat with a wayward crush on a handsome Mexican immigrant. Mala
Noche was an important prelude to the New Queer Cinema of the nineties and is a
fascinating time capsule from a time and place that continues to haunt its director's
work. The Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival is proud to bring you this seminal work
of cinema from one of the art form’s most important living artists, and this is a perfect
follow-up to the recent MBC retrospective on Van Sant. Don’t miss this rare opportunity
to see his first work, completely restored!

August 31 FRI 8:30pm:
The Wrath of WERNER HERZOG:
Little Dieter Needs To Fly (Documentary/1998)
(The documentary that Herzog’s latest feature, Rescue Dawn, is based on.
See Rescue Dawn, and then see the real thing!...)
“Men are often haunted...they seem to be normal, but they are not”
With Dieter Dengler
Before his latest film Rescue Dawn, which was based on the true harrowing
experiences of German-American pilot Dieter Dengler, Werner Herzog made
this documentary about his life. Dieter Dengler re-enacts for Herzog the grueling
trek from captivity he endured in Vietnam, as well as the thoughts and emotions
associated with it—the real ones.
Special thanks to the Werner Herzog Film Office, Munich Germany
“Inspiring, charming, sad and all but tragic, in a Greek-literary sense —
and a character that might have sprung from the brow of Herzog, if not Zeus.”
– John Anderson, Newsday.
