Gregg Araki's Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy

The Story

Totally F***ed Up (1993), The Doom Generation (1995) and Nowhere (1997); Newly restored and hitting the big screen for the first time in 20 years, presented by Static Vision.

A landmark of the New Queer Cinema genre, Totally F***ed Up (1993) centres on six queer, alienated teenagers living in LA who form a makeshift family. Araki himself has dubbed it “a kinda cross between avant-garde experimental cinema and a queer John Hughes flick,” screening from a new 2K restoration.

Araki’s second entry, the nihilistic road movie The Doom Generation (1995) — long marred by studio intervention and only available with a heavily cut, compromised version of the film — will be screened in it’s recently restored form, as the full, uncut feature with a fresh new 4K scan of the original elements.

Nowhere (1997) completes the trilogy with a cast of eclectic characters, featuring turns from a number of young celebrities on the cusp of stardom including Ryan Phillippe, Mena Suvari and Denise Richards.

Totally F*cked Up: 6:45pm - 8:05pm
