An autobiographical trip through the sexual underworld of Los Angeles in the early 1970s, Fred Halsted's L.A. Plays Itself is perhaps the crowning achievement of queer hardcore. The film follows Halsted himself, roaming and fucking his way across city. At once languidly pensive and joltingly violent, the film combines graphic sex, atmospheric exposition, and scenes of intense BDSM. Early screenings sparked protestors from the right and the left, and inspired Salvador Dali to proclaim, new information for me. Accompanied by the rarely screened Sex Garage (shot in six hours before the release of L.A. Plays Itself), Sex Tool, and A Night at Halsted's, this screening will take place at Eagle LA, a location with deep connections to the city's leather and BDSM scene.
Eagle LA is a leather, uniform and fetish bar in Los Angeles. Its location has served as a gay bar for 44 years.
