FILM: Tonight the documentary "Black White + Gray: A Portrait of Sam Wagstaff and Robert Mapplethorpe" screens at Cinefamily and the film's director James Crump will be there for a Q&A. The film explores the relationships between Robert Mapplethorpe and Patti Smith, who shared a studio near the Chelsea Hotel, and the curator Sam Wagstaff. The film reminisces about CBGB's, Studio 54 and the emerging gay/S&M subculture. In addition to Crump, Britt Salvesen, LACMA's head curator of photography, and Frances Terpak, the curator of photographs at the Getty Research Institute.
