MOCA x NYAFF Film Club: Totally F***ed Up

MOCA x NYAFF Film Club present last screening of 2025 with Totally F***ed Up (1993), written and directed by Gregg Araki, which is a raw, poetic portrait of queer adolescence and alienation in early ’90s Los Angeles. The first installment of Araki’s “Teenage Apocalypse” trilogy, the film follows six gay and lesbian teenagers who form a fragile chosen family as they navigate love, friendship, and despair in a world that refuses to see them.

Stay after the screening for a conversation between MOCA’s Curator Herb Tam and NYAFF’s Executive Director Sam Jamier, starting at 8:20 pm. Explore the film’s deeper meanings and behind-the-scenes context before engaging in further discussions with fellow attendees over beverages.
