Working Girls x Hi Books

Working Girls (1986) Directed by Lizzie Borden. 1hr 33min. Not Rated. Join us for a weekend of early independent Lizzie Borden films presented with Hi Books. We present Working Girls – a bold, funny, and empathetic look at a young college graduate’s entrance into prostitution.  “Sex work is portrayed with radical nonjudgment in Lizzie Borden’s immersive, richly detailed look at the rhythms and rituals of society’s most stigmatized profession.” – Criterion Collection Guest programming this weekend, Hi Books is a tiny bookshop/artspace and occasional editorial/curatorial project with a focus on contemporary photography and independent publications in the fields of art, fashion, design, youth culture, rave culture, counterculture, and queer history. “We’re a proudly feminist, artist-run, owner-operated space, dedicated to cultural diversity, building community, and providing opportunities for emerging artists, photographers, publishers, and curators.” We do not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films, and films exhibited don’t necessarily reflect the views of PAM CUT or the Portland Art Museum. In addition to the synopses, trailers, and other links on our website, further information about content and age-appropriateness for specific films can be found on sites like Common Sense Media, IMDb, and DoesTheDogDie.com.
