HOLLYWOOD BABYLON:
Documentary Education. Length: 52min

Screening: 3:00pm

Before morality descended upon Hollywood in 1934, the movie capital looked a lot like Sodom and Gomorrah. Damien Chazelle’s film Babylon evokes that wild era when the film industry was steeped in scandal—orgies, murders, mafia, drugs… nothing was off limits. The Roaring Twenties were unbridled: jazz, illegal alcohol, liberated women, and risqué films by the dozens.

Hollywood was churning out up to 700 films a year, exploring without restraint adultery, homosexuality, corruption, and abortion. On screen, actresses appeared in transparent lingerie; behind the scenes, stars were entangled in sordid affairs like the Fatty Arbuckle scandal or the M**der of William Desmond Taylor.
