"Miraculous...THE EXILES has an epic grandeur and a monumental intimacy...the night photography alone would make the film immortal."
- Richard Brody, The New Yorker
"A semidocumentary account of native Americans living in Los Angeles's downtown Bunker Hill, its evocations of loneliness and despair and renewal are among the most eloquent in American cinema."
- Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
"Rife with astonishing black-and-white images of an unknown L.A. and clashing sounds of bars, cinemas and poker games, The Exiles is one of those movies that functions as both artifact and fresh discovery."
- Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

---
"A lot has happened in the 25 years between Rob Epstein's Oscar-winning 1984 documentary and Gus Van Sant's biopic, but the subject of the nation's signal gay rights leader is as relevant as ever."
- David Ehrenstein, L.A. Weekly
"Eerie, fascinating, sad, funny; as dramatic and involving as the most carefully plotted fiction. This deservedly earned a Best Documentary Academy Award."
- Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide
---
For our final screenings of the year, we are presenting three movies over two nights all in order to celebrate and showcase the brilliant work that has been done in the world of 35mm film restoration.
Our overarching theme for the weekend is marginalized populations and narratives. These films involve subjects and topics that, like restoration itself, don't often get the time or discussion that they rightly deserve.
So please join us for one or both evenings in order to hear the speakers and guests discuss the ways in which the films were restored, the importance of these titles and why preservation and restoration is so vital to film's survival!
These are our final benefit screenings of the year so show your support for film and film archiving!
