DIVE-IN 48 PRES: A SEAN BAKER RETROSPECTIVE FEAT : STARLET (2012)

Join us for an engaging evening as the Cinema Café opens its doors at 18:30! This special event, part of our Sean Baker retrospective series, showcases the film Starlet (2012) at 19:30.

✨ About the Film: Starlet delves into a poignant and unlikely friendship in the San Fernando Valley. Sean Baker, celebrated for his empathetic portrayals of marginalized characters, explores themes of human connection and the complexities of life.

🌟 Starring: Dree Hemmingway, the great-granddaughter of literary icon Ernest Hemmingway, and Besedka Johnson, who fulfilled her lifelong dream of acting in a film before she passed away a year after Starlet’s release at the age of 87.

🎥 This film is the first in Baker's "Sex Worker Trilogy," which also includes Tangerine (2015) and The Florida Project (2017). The exploration of these themes continues in more recent films, like Red Rocket (2021) and the critically acclaimed Anora (2024), which won the Palme d'Or and an Oscar.

Café services will be available one hour prior to the screening. Don't miss out on this cinematic experience!
