Secret Cinema revives one of their most popular archival programs, with a collection of rare 16mm films that we'll project will surprise and shock those who believe the "sexual revolution" of the sixties and seventies gave birth to the celluloid depiction of sex.
his screening will have a bonus not included in past Stag Movie Nights: a talk by Dan Erdman about the murky history of early erotica films. Erdman is the author of the acclaimed book Let's Go Stag! A History of Pornographic Film from the Invention of Cinema to 1970, published by Bloomsbury in 2021 (and newly released in paperback this year). Dan Erdman is the video preservation specialist at Media Burn Archive, and lives in Chicago.
