Born in Flames
6:00pm doors/6:30 pm show
Feminist director Lizzie Borden made her mark on the film world with the realistic prostitution drama Working Girls and the bizarre, voyeurism-themed Love Crimes, but she may be most famous for her 1983 debut feature Born in Flames, a searing sci-fi tale set in a bleak near-future. Taking place ten years after a peaceful revolution, everyone in the US is now created equal, with some exceptions of course. When women and minorities are quietly released from their hard-earned jobs, no one seems take notice. Enter a number of underground groups that attempt to stand up for the cause. No one listens until a prominent leader is murdered, and anger explodes into societal chaos. But plot is only a small part of Born in Flames, a cinematic cry for revolution on-screen and off. A product of the turbulent times in which it was made, its rebellious, politically-charged message of outsider revolt ushered in an era of independent cinema that still exists today.
