Jubilee

Part of Slanted Lens Queer Film Series

Queen Elizabeth I travels 400 years into the future to witness the appalling revelation of a dystopian London overrun by corruption and a vicious gang of punk guerrilla girls led by the new Monarch of Punk. Numerous punk icons appear in the film including Adam Ant, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Slits, Toyah, Jordan (a Malcolm McLaren protégé), Gene October and Jayne County. 

Preceded with a new short film, Doom Looped (2023, 9 minutes), by Val Castro.


Slanted Lens is a queer film series dedicated to showcasing avant-garde and cult classic works of filmmakers from the past and present.  From the cinema of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Chantal Akerman, and Kenneth Anger to emerging underground filmmakers from around the world, queer film emerged from the fringes of society.  Slanted Lens celebrates queer culture and art from these margins.  The Series is programmed and hosted by San Francisco filmmaker and film series producer Val Castro, who studied at The San Francisco Art Institute under the legendary underground queer filmmaker and artist Mike Kuchar.
