]]>The collision of the two undergrounds — and the unintended consequences of the party's growing popularity — is chronicled in a documentary by Tsang that plays at Outfest on Saturday, July 21. The Silver Platter, with its glittering drapes and sultry pink lights, is the unmistakable star of the film, also called "Wildness." Voiced by a transgender actress from Guatemala, the bar literally speaks, whispering about the generations of gays who have found sanctuary there, away "from the ignorance, the fear and hatred of the outside world."

]]>When Wu Tsang and friends started Wildness, a party and performance night at the Silver Platter in MacArthur Park, they had no idea that in a very short space of time it would become something that everyone was talking about, find itself at the center of an ongoing debate about gentrification, and then cease to be entirely. Now a few years later, Tsang has finished directing a magical realist documentary called Wildness that tells the story not just of a weekly Tuesday night party, but also the story of a neighborhood, a bar, and the people who were part of it. Charles Mallison revisits Wu Tsang now that Wildness is showing in Los Angeles. Read More

]]>A Latino transgender bar tells its own story, courtesy of the performance crew who transformed the space into a once-a-week hipster hangout, in "Wildness," named after the outre art/fashion/music night that filmmaker Wu Tsang and his friends brought to Los Angeles' Silver Platter. Considering the various groups who struggled to coexist there, it's no surprise that the resulting documentary should reflect such an enigmatic mix of identities. Simultaneously vital and unwieldy, this occasionally self-serving yet undeniably eye-opening project is the closest thing the community has to a self-portrait, fancifully narrated (in Spanish) by the Silver Platter itself.
