DESCRIPTION:\n	The Scarlet Empress \n	\n	   Dir. Josef von Sternberg. 1934\
 , 104 mins. 35mm. With Marlene Dietrich\, John Lodge\, Sam Jaffe. A notori
 ous box-office flop in its day\, Sternberg’s The Scarlet Empress has been 
 reclaimed as one of the greatest of the director’s legendary collaboration
 s with Dietrich\, and certainly the most lavish. As a heavily fictionalize
 d version of Catherine the Great\, the Prussian princess who was brought t
 o Russia to marry the Grand Duke Peter (portrayed by Sam Jaffe as a grotes
 que simpleton) and bear him a child\, Dietrich grows from wide-eyed innoce
 nt to imperious ruler\, her rise framed by Sternberg’s grandiose camerawor
 k and wildly baroque set design. A work of frenetic\, mad genius\, The Sca
 rlet Empress is a cornerstone of Hollywood excess from one of the industry
 ’s greatest\, boldest practitioners. \n\n\n	Flaming Creatures \n	\n	   Dir
 . Jack Smith. 1963\, 43 mins. 16mm. With Francis Francine\, Sheila Bick\, 
 Mario Montez\, Joel Markman. Deemed obscene by the State of New York\, Smi
 th’s revolutionary and elusive avant-garde masterpiece Flaming Creatures w
 as shot on expired black-and-white film stock\, reproducing some of Hollyw
 ood’s golden days on a Lower East Side rooftop. Smith gives his actors the
  freedom to preen\, dance\, and playfully inhabit the rapturous and exotic
  fantasies of Hollywood cinema. This landmark of queer cinema remains an u
 nparalleled riot of experimental film.&nbsp\; \n\n\n	Tickets: $15 / $11 se
