It’s an irony worth remembering that porn, rarely discussed as media art, was once the only way for gay people to see real gay people onscreen! Today, both the history and the far horizons of queer erotic media display evidence of a rich and dense cultural exhange between artists, industry, imagination and ever-expanding audiences, with no end in sight! Equally of interest are developments in sexual attitudes and practices that reflect the freedom celebrated in "adult" film of yesterday and today. This section of the festival recognizes the vivid palate of sensuality and raw sex, as constructed in contemporary media and communication.

Since then, video and body-waxing herald a new regime of pornography. But happy days are here again in this presentation of rare theatrical trailers for the Jaguar line of porn features, dating from the 1970s and presented in 16mm prints. Enticing, explicit visual clips join with booming narration, promising dramatic depth and all-too-often delivering hilarity, along witht the expected, er, amourous inspiration. Come partake in this rare, communal opportunity, featuring a spoken presentation of reminiscences by producers Brian King and Ted Sawicki, that recalls the good old days of male erotic entertainment with heart as well as hard-ons.

KINGDOM CUM
DATE TIME LOCATION PROGRAM #
FRIDAY, JULY 16 9:30PM VILLAGE 104
FRIDAY, JULY 16 MIDNIGHT VILLAGE 108


Wash West's SQUISHY DOES PORNO created a sensation at OUTFEST '96, posing the question: "if sex is so interesting, why is most porn so boring?" His work since that time has aggressively taken on the challenge of creating erotic film that is sexy, fun and original. Working with a small crew (and often alone), West orchestrates and captures erotic moments that have great intimacy and are charged with what appears to be genuine desire. Critically acclaimed for the sensuality, humor and savvy of his work — most recently for his NAKED HIGHWAY, which scored an unprecedented sweep of both the Gay Erotic Video Awards and the Adult Video News Awards — West has continued to develop a complex and sexy aesthetic, and has attracted a growing popular following as well. Join Wash as he discusses the development of his unique brand of cinema. He'll present clips from all his works, including early "guerrilla" videos to previously-unseen clips from his two new movies TECHNICAL ECSTASY and ANIMUS. Listen and ask questions as he shares his vision of the future of porn.

SKIN FLICK
DATE TIME LOCATION PROGRAM #
FRIDAY, JULY 9 9:30PM DGA 1 5
SATURDAY, JULY 17 MIDNIGHT LAEMMLE 129


DIR: Bruce La Bruce, 1999, Germany, video

Our favorite bad boy of queer cinema has accomplished yet another controversial, creative, provocative and entirely playful piece of – porn? Yes indeedy, Bruce La Bruce finally goes all the way with SKIN FLICK, a film which is designed to offend, enrage and push erotic buttons you would like to deny you have. Reinhold, member of a neo-skinhead gang in London, screws his girlfriend, Cameltoe wild in their kitchen. Meanwhile his gangmates, Dirk & Deiter steal, bash and fuck throughout the city on their way to Reinhold’s house. Cameltoe isn't thrilled when the guys arrive. Like pigs, they grab what little is in the kitchen, sparking a big fight between Reinhold and Cameltoe. Finally Reinhold kicks her out of the house to the amusement of his mates. Realizing that they don't have any money, they decide to visit a faggot. La Bruce has created a heady new breed of pornography that employs a variety of devices alternative to explicit boning to maintain sexual energy between "money shots". Juxtapositions of abject and reactionary stories over hot sex create a culpability in the viewer which ripens them for arousal. A kick-ass soundtrack underscore Bruce's unique brand of twisted humor, including crude Monica Lewinsky jokes, goofy skinheads who trips over their shoelaces, and a seduction scene that begins with plumbers butt. SKIN FLICK is strong sauce for the open-minded viewer.
