John Waters, John Summers, Alex de Renzy's wife Kathryn Reed, and other seminal figures of the sexual counterculture discuss San Francisco's Tenderloin district and the birth of smut in America. Smut Capital of America is the title of Michael Stabile's in-progress documentary which chronicles San Francisco's reign as the center of porn production in the U.S. during the early 70s. In 1969, San Francisco became the first city in the U.S. to effectively legalize pornography, hugely boosting our reputation as a boomtown for sex, and eventually opening up the floodgates to the rest of the country. The series begins with a screening/discussion with Stabile and continues through August 18 with a wide variety of films made during the era. All will be presented in their original film formats (not digital transfers).
