MATTACHINE SOCIETY


Flier for the Society's "Fucking Films" screenings.
Illustrated flier, 215x139 mm; 8 1/2x5 1/2 inches; minimal wear. [San Francisco], circa 1972.

The Bay Area reporter of 6 September 1972 noted film presentations at the Mattachine office at this address, although with slightly different times. They officially opened as CineMattachine in February 1973, and were raided by the police in August (see Sears, "Behind the Mask of the Mattachine," page 276). The San Francisco Examiner of 13 November 1973 described their rejected application to build a proper "pornographic movie house" for the society.
