Folsom Forever Film Screening

In 1984, a scrappy little neighborhood in San Francisco—home to many low-income tenants and the heart of the gay male leather scene—faced destruction from the bulldozers of redevelopment and the AIDS crisis. The Folsom Street Fair was started to call attention to gentrification and raise money for AIDS charities. FOLSOM FOREVER tells the story of how this little street fair grew into the biggest outdoor kink and fetish event in the world, and managed to do a lot of good along the way. A film by Mike Skiff. Release 2014. Northwestern room on the 6th floor Free and open to the public. The Folsom Forever screening at IML is free thanks to a generous grant from Folsom Street Events and Third Rail Media.
