Film Geeks SD’s fifth year-long film series kicks off Jan. 6 with Cecil B. De Mille’s Sign of the Cross as we launch Breaking the Commandments: Pre-Code Hollywood.
Pre-Code Hollywood refers to an era in motion pictures from the arrival of sound in the late 1920s to the mandatory enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code in July 1934. This series focuses on films made between 1930 and 1934 and highlights how openly suggestive some of these films were and how blissfully defiant they were of the Code authority (that defiance, however, would bring on more forceful self-censorship that would last well into the 1960s).
Whether you are already an ardent admirer of these films or you have no idea what we are talking about, this is an opportunity to see some of classic Hollywood at its most rebellious, most lascivious, or more subversive! It was an age of breaking the rules of “morality,” according to the censors of the day!
We will showcase 16 films with screenings one Sunday a month at 1pm.

January 6th: Sign of the Cross
February 3rd: I’m No Angel
March 3rd: Babyface and Night Nurse
April 7th: Design for Living
