Film Festival 2024

Join us for two encore screenings of PSIFF 2023's DESPERATE SOULS, DARK CITY AND THE LEGEND OF MIDNIGHT COWBOY in celebration of the film making the Oscar© Shortlist for Documentaries! There will be a post-screening Q&A with producer Susan Margolin and Michael Childers on January 7.

No Oscar®-winning film captured its tumultuous time as indelibly as 1969’s X-rated Midnight Cowboy. Rich with interviews and archival footage, this ambitious documentary chronicles not just its unlikely creation, but the cultural, sexual and political undercurrents that fueled John Schlesinger’s classic movie.
