ABOUT THE EVENT Borrowing its name from the phrase cultural historian Mike Davis used to describe how Los Angeles is more sinister, intense, and foreboding than the city’s boosters care to admit, Sunshine and Noir: 1980s L.A. Horror Marathon takes a deep dive into the L.A.-based horror films that terrorized a generation and continue to define its fears. Curated by Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh, who brings a loving yet critical eye to the genre as a Black horror fan, and Cinematic Void’s James Branscome, the marathon illuminates the ways in which horror films played out 1980s L.A.’s preoccupation with ambition, health, and wealth. With a guest artist panel foregrounding the voices of women and issues of representation, Sunshine to Noir promises a both thoughtful and chilling descent into the City of Angels’ dark side. – Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh, curator ABOUT THE FILMS THEY LIVE, 1988, Universal, 87 min, USA, Dir: John Carpenter.
