About this event
"Fucktoys" is a bold cinematic experience that promises to shake up the conventional film scene. Directed by Annapurna Sriram, this film takes you on a wild ride through Trashtown, USA, with a storyline that's as unpredictable as its protagonist. The film's unique style draws from French New Wave and the rebellious spirit of 90s cinema, making it a must-see for those who appreciate daring storytelling.
The event at Cactus Club offers more than just a film screening. With a DJ set by XxultravioletxX, photo opportunities, and exclusive merchandise, it's a full evening of entertainment. Plus, all proceeds from merch and raffle sales support Forge, aiding services for trans folks. It's a night of art, community, and support, wrapped in a vibrant package.
From the organizer
Our mission is to create an artist-centered model for multimedia arts education and community building that champions accessibility, inclusivity and sustainability. Founded in 2022, Cactus+ is our effort to formalize and broaden the reach of our arts education and community building programs including workshops, youth internships, and accessibility initiatives. Cactus+ Moving Image’s vision is to create an environment conducive to critical engagement by showing work that takes risks, challenges norms, and opens conversations by showcasing a wide range of artist-driven independent media. As a series, we hope to offer a space for inter-generational attendees to engage with film, expanded cinema, and integrated moving image arts practices made by artists from a variety of backgrounds. To keep a flow of new perspectives, the monthly programs are curated by Cactus+ as well as visionary guest programmers. We have hosted installations, video jockeys, workshops in stop motion, teen film-making, hosting screenings, and cinema studies.
