Made, in director Marlon Riggs’ own words, to “shatter this nation’s brutalizing silence on matters of sexual and racial difference,” "Tongues Untied" is a bold and beautiful film centering the experiences of Black gay men and Black gay love and desire. In the 1990s, it met with a firestorm of controversy that reached all the way to the U.S. Congress. A radical act of representation, it has lost none of its life-affirming resonance. In 2022, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". San Francisco based film curator Cornelius Moore who appears in Tongues Untied will introduce the film virtually. The San Diego Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will be in attendance and offer secular blessings.
