Rate It X
First released in 1985, RATE IT X stunned audiences and critics alike with its unflinching look at how sexism and sexual exploitation are embedded in American media and culture. Directors Lucy Winer and Paula de Koenigsberg traveled across the United States interviewing men who profited from—and helped perpetuate—stereotyped and sexualized images of women. Advertising executives describe how sex is used to sell product. Hustler magazine’s creator of the notorious “Chester the Molester” cartoon proudly displays drawings depicting a predatory adult man entrapping young girls. A fundamentalist minister tells us that Adam shirked his responsibility by allowing Eve to lead. The flamboyant producer of a popular cable show roams the streets of New York City in a silver lamé jumpsuit, video camera in hand, asking young women, “Would you like to flex into a hallway and pose nude?”
Applauded for its keen humor, RATE IT X is now digitally restored and rereleased, remaining as provocative and relevant as ever. Despite decades of hard-fought victories in the women’s movement, women’s rights continue to face renewed challenges, and many of the cultural attitudes the film exposes remain deeply embedded. At a moment when political battles over sex discrimination and civil liberties intensify, the film’s confrontational lens feels newly urgent. As public demands grow for greater transparency and accountability surrounding the sexual abuse and exploitation of minors, Rate It X stands as a powerful reminder of why exposing these dynamics—and questioning the culture that sustains them—remains essential.
My Architect
Tues Nov 10: Special screening + conversation with dir. Nathaniel Kahn & Michael Pärt at 6:30!
Special screening marking the 125th anniversary of Louis Kahn’s birth and USA 250.
MY ARCHITECT: A SON’S JOURNEY is Nathaniel Kahn’s acclaimed and deeply personal documentary about his search to understand his father, the Estonian-born American architect Louis Kahn. Through a journey across countries, buildings, archives, and memories, Nathaniel explores the life and work of one of the 20th century’s most influential architects, and his own complex relationship with the father he came to know through his work.
Following the screening, Nathaniel Kahn and Michael Pärt, son of renowned Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, will come together for a special conversation about their fathers, their creative worlds, and the legacies they continue to shape. Though working in different realms, both Louis Kahn and Arvo Pärt transformed their creative worlds, and their work continues to resonate across generations and borders. And both shared a focus on the essential: space and silence, light and presence, simplicity and meaning. Their distinct creative visions invite us to look and listen differently – and to consider how ideas can transcend disciplines, cultures, and time.
Co-presented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, the Ministry of Culture of Estonia, and the Arvo Pärt Centre.
