Multiple notable Bay Area events are scheduled, including the long-awaited HIERO Day festival relocating to San Francisco and a short-run of Paranormal Cirque featuring aerial theatrics and gory costumes. The Worst Film Festival presents brief screenings of imperfect projects with candid filmmaker Q&A and an emphasis on creative vulnerability. Valentino Carrillo is opening Next Level, an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Old Oakland described as a sanctuary for all genders and orientations. Additional community events include the Xicana Power Block Party, a Pride outdoor screening of To Wong Foo, and the Bay Area Queer Zine Fest. Event submissions can be emailed or added via a self-submission form.
Now in its second year, at The Worst Film festival filmmakers get vulnerable and share their not-so-great projects. Maybe the sound mixing was terrible, perhaps the wild and ambitious script ultimately didn't make sense, but for whatever reason these films did not turn out the way the creators hoped. The organizers describe the festival as "a celebration of the messy middle - the beautifully imperfect work that shapes us."
Grand opening of the new LGBTQ+ nightclub Next Level Valentino Carrillo, owner of the LGBTQ+ bar Que Rico, is expanding with the opening of Next Level, a new space in Old Oakland that formerly housed Level 13. According to Valentino, Next Level "sets out to become a sanctuary where every individual, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, or background, can feel safe, celebrated,"
