"content": "\u003cp>Festival director George Sukara describes the films that make up the one-day program of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.scum.dance/\">Scumdance Film Festival\u003c/a> as really sleazy, really gory and really goofy. But he has a disclaimer: “I think at the core they’re made by genuinely nice people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this year’s festival, he and a jury sifted through over 100 submissions of shorts and feature-length films from around the world, selecting 24 that will screen at San Francisco’s The Lost Church on Saturday, Sept. 28, starting at 3 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obviously, this is no Sundance, as the groan-inducing festival title suggests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scumdance specializes in “the best (and worst) of lowbrow culture.” That means genre offerings like underground, horror, splatter, grindcore, exploitation, punk, hot-rod, rock and roll, and biker films. Tonally, the movies can range from self-knowing musical spoofs to dark horror underpinned with social commentary. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that vein, last year, the best feature winner was \u003ci>\u003ca href=\"https://www.intotheshedmovie.com/\">Into the Shed\u003c/a>\u003c/i>, a 52-minute stoner horror movie made by four friends on MiniDV during the pandemic lockdown. The audience favorite short was \u003ci>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kylemangionesmith.com/annihilator\">Annihilator\u003c/a>\u003c/i>, about a young man obsessed with snuff films who fantasizes about starring in one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/YRDxUj0vzCw?feature=shared\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For the most part, the movies have very, very small budgets and they’re a total labor of love,” Sukara says. “And sometimes we’re the only festival to accept some of the movies. So it’s kind of nice to be giving people a voice regardless of how much money they have. And that’s why we haven’t changed the price.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It costs filmmakers between $10 and $30 to submit their films to the festival, though Sukara also lists out numerous instances of fee waivers for students and international filmmakers. “I end up becoming Instagram friends with all of the filmmakers and watching their success,” he says. “It’s really exciting to see.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the festival’s eighth, he’s especially excited to show \u003ci>Mr. Sun\u003c/i>, a short by former Bay Area resident \u003ca href=\"https://avivasiegel.com/\">Aviva Siegal\u003c/a>, co-producer of the beloved live comedy show \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/talkiescomedy/\">Talkies\u003c/a> (now also transplanted to Los Angeles).

But he has a disclaimer: “I think at the core they’re made by genuinely nice people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this year’s festival, he and a jury sifted through over 100 submissions of shorts and feature-length films from around the world, selecting 24 that will screen at San Francisco’s The Lost Church on Saturday, Sept. 28, starting at 3 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obviously, this is no Sundance, as the groan-inducing festival title suggests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scumdance specializes in “the best (and worst) of lowbrow culture.” That means genre offerings like underground, horror, splatter, grindcore, exploitation, punk, hot-rod, rock and roll, and biker films. Tonally, the movies can range from self-knowing musical spoofs to dark horror underpinned with social commentary. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that vein, last year, the best feature winner was \u003ci>\u003ca href=\"https://www.intotheshedmovie.com/\">Into the Shed\u003c/a>\u003c/i>, a 52-minute stoner horror movie made by four friends on MiniDV during the pandemic lockdown.

"content": "\u003cp>A decade ago, South African photographer \u003ca href=\"https://pieterhugo.com/\">Pieter Hugo\u003c/a> came to the Bay Area for a residency at Headlands Center for the Arts. He’d been to the city once before, as a teenager, when he had the formative experience of his first mugging. He was planning on using his time at Headlands to organize his archive, having just made the shift from film to digital photography. Instead, he photographed residents of San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_13963016']A selection from the series, titled \u003ca href=\"https://pieterhugo.com/Californian-Wildflowers\">\u003cem>Californian Wildflowers\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, is on view for the first time in San Francisco at Jonathan Carver Moore’s eponymous Market Street gallery, in the very neighborhood where the work was made. The show coincides with an expansive monograph of the same title, forthcoming from \u003ca href=\"https://tbwbooks.com/\">TBW Books\u003c/a>. The series shines an ebullient light on a neighborhood central to the high-profile narrative of San Francisco’s demise, and makes a case for its vibrant humanity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prints in the show, all untitled, offer their subjects up larger than life, both in physical scale and personal demeanor. A woman clad in a fur coat and curly blonde wig dramatically puffs a cigarette through metallic red lipstick, matching her heavy eyeshadow, echoing the orange wall behind her. A man in a bright green coat and scarf with a pattern of purple hearts practically vogues for the camera, a purse slung jauntily over one shoulder.
