Film Maudit 2.0 Festival
In 1949, Jean Cocteau launched a festival to celebrate overlooked, shocking, and experimental works of cinema that the gay, influential avant-garde filmmaker named after a French phrase literally meaning “cursed films.” The outré concept was revived last year by the Highways Performance Space & Gallery, a nonprofit cultural center in L.A. devoted to providing space for and presenting work by alternative, independent, and innovative artists.
The second annual Film Maudit festival runs online for free through next weekend and offers a collection of 18 feature films and 21 shorts programs, plus specially commissioned performances and discussions, as eclectic and varied and as weird and risqué as you could hope for.
