Celebrate Mother’s Day with Queer Diaspora
, as 7th House Screenings at PRS welcomes the bi-monthly screening series — programmed and hosted by filmmaker 
Gregorio Davila 
(
L.A. A QUEER HISTORY, UNIDAD: GAY AND LESBIAN LATINOS UNIDOS
) — for a screening of Pedro Almodóvar’s late 20th Century classic, a poignant and jubilant meditation on motherly love: 
ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER 
!
Decades ahead of its time
 in terms of feminine perspective and representation, Almodóvar's 
Oscar winning 1999 masterpiece
, 
ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER 
celebrates femininity in all its forms. Written as an ode to his recently deceased mother, 
Almodóvar pays tribute to old Hollywood's glorious tradition of "women's films"
, starring the great diva actresses of the time like Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford in 
THE WOMEN 
or Bette Davis in 
ALL ABOUT EVE
. Sprinkled with Almodovar's usual troupe of colorful characters, drag queens, trans women and biological women, 
ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER
 
proves that femininity and womanhood is not a matter of biological fact, it's about experience and emotional connection. And over 25 years old, is still years ahead of Hollywood in terms of trans and nonbinary representation in film.
- Program notes by Queer Diaspora programmer Gregorio Davila
Following the screening, Davila will be joined by GLAAD nominated writer/director 
Aitch Alberto
 (
ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE 
) to discuss the lasting impact of Almodóvar's modern classic.
ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER
 (1999)
Internationally acclaimed writer/director Pedro Almodóvar delivered what stands as one of his greatest films with 
All About My Mother
, 
a poignant masterpiece of unconditional love, survival and redemption.
 Manuela (Cecilia Roth) is the perfect mother. A hard-working nurse, she's built a comfortable life for herself and her teenage son, an aspiring writer. But when tragedy strikes and her beloved only child is killed in a car accident, her world crumbles. The heartbroken woman learns her son's final wish was to know his father - the man she abandoned when she was pregnant 18 years earlier. Returning to Barcelona in search of him, Manuela overcomes her grief and becomes caregiver to a colorful [object]end family: a pregnant nun (Penélope Cruz), a transvestite prostitute (Antonia San Juan), and two troubled actresses (Marisa Paredes and Candela Peña). 
With riveting performances, unforgettable characters and creative plot twists, this touching screwball melodrama is "An absolute stunner. A funny, touching and vital film...a career peak for Almodóvar!"

Sunset Boulevard is one one the most iconic things about LA but, it is ultimately just a road. There is no doubt that it covers a few highlights e.g. Playboy Mansion, the Oppenheim Group and leads straight to Hollywood but it&#39;s something you end up passing through rather than venturing to.
