HOT STUFF, NYC July 28th @ 6pm
While I was soooo appreciative that a healthy LJ crew came to the premiere of The Abominable Freedom back in March, for those who missed the sheer musical nudity of it all, come on out to Scanners: The 2006 New York Video Festival at Lincoln Center this Friday at 6pm. It will be playing again in a program called:
HOT STUFF:
WILLIAM E. JONES, DARRIN MARTIN, AND TORSTEN ZENAS BURNS
And for those who did get a chance to see it, the description of the video we are screening with may be tantalizing enough to get you to come for a second viewing. I've copied it below highlighting a few key words to get you at least considering it. FYI - also check out William E. Jones, the website. I've never experienced work by him myself, but have read a bit about Is It Really So Strange?, his 80-minute documentary about the cult of Morrissey fans that have sprung up amongst LA Latinos. That and his site's description for The Fall of Communism as Seen in Gay Pornography has more than made me curious and excited to see his new work.
V.O. William Jones, USA; 59m
In V.O. Jones appropriates imagery from 70s and 80s gay porn classics from directors such as Tom de Simone, Fred Halstead, and Joe Gage. (Everyone remembers Gage’s Kansas City Trucking Co., El Paso Wrecking Corp., and L.A. Tool & Die, right?) The imagery is then wedded to sound (and subtitles) borrowed from Jean Genet and art films by the likes of Renoir, Bunuel, and Debord. When the end credits roll and reveal all the source material that went into this delirious and magnificent creation, audience jaws will drop.
Actually, I’ll be around Thursday through Saturday trying to catch a lot of the other screenings in the festival. So if any thing else catches your eye, let’s go see a show together.
