Despite this, or perhaps because of it, she made one of our CINDERELLA'S BOOB JOB favourite documentaries of the past few years. Llik Your Idols tells the story of the Cinema of Transgression, a moment in New York time when artists like Richard Kern, Nick Zedd and Lydia Lunch Sexploitative came together to form a loose movement of extreme lmmakers, their work inspired by poverty, nihilism, His Name Is Jonas sex and drugs. At the heart of the lm are a series of interviews with the main protagonists of the scene SEXPLOITATION - lmmaking in which they paint a vivid portrait of their lives and loves in squalor and talk openly about that fertile contest & our next Lond... period when some of the most shocking, gruesome and salacious scene s ever seen in underground lm Invisible Adversaries (Valie were committed to Super 8. Angélique’s open, almost naïve interview technique allows her subjects the Export, 1976) ability to reminisce freely and undirected where a more experienced and routined lmmaker may have prompted the opposite eect. BANG WASH PRODUCTIONS Zine #2 Now Available “To be honest, I started work in the cinema abut 10 years ago now,” explains the quiet, unassuming young réalisatrice, “because I knew what I did not want to do – name ly to work in music labels, publishing companies, galleries, banks etc. I didn’t know a thing about cinema, or not enough, therefore I felt absolutely free.” But if making Llik Your Idols was a labour of freedom, it was a far from easy process. She worked on it in what little time remained outside of what she calls her “ocial job” for the best part of 5 years in a production process fraught with diculties. “I started in the summer of 2002 and nished it in July 2007, then it ran festivals. The whole thing started quickly. I decided to work on the project in the spring of 2002, wrote a few e-mails, got a few answers, booked some tickets. I wasn’t even sure I was to meet with these people with I booked the tickets, it had to happen, that’s all. Then I got lucky, somebody gave me 1000 Euros and I went to New York in August.” Angéli que ew to New York and conducted the ocial interviews, getting on with her subjects “quite well” and returning over the following years to revisit, ask more questions, or interview new subjects, slowly but surely completing the jigsaw of the nished lm. She befriended Jack Sargeant, author of Deathtripping, the Creation Cinema book about the scene, and modelled for Richard Kern. But as the project grew, fun ding became an issue, and it was here that the diculties began. Documentary Issue - SOLD OUT FOLLOWERS ELSEWHERES Alexandra Roxo Bang Wash Productions Cinema Echo Chamber photo by richard kern Graven Images “I tried to work with different production companies that would stop the shooting, waiting for financial Harmony Korine support from a French TV channel, which never came of course. So I would alternate periods of shooting I <3 Hot Dogs and periods of waiting, patiently.” Production continued on blind faith, and editing commenced in 2006 “at Indiewire home with Aurelie Cauchy. Then another production company, and the editing was stopped.” The stop- Joe Swanberg start production process was almost enough to curtail the project altogether, but again naïve optimism Kathryn Corlett won through and the film was eventually finished in 2007, “with people I’d rather not talk about,” That Krash Tit wasn’t all. Even with a completed project to hand, securing a release proved difficult - “a production Llik Your Idols company tried to block everything and it was a mess for another whole year.” MILK Monster Emporium Press Finally in late 2007 the film hit festivals, and now, two years later, the DVD is available in several Nicola Probert territories, with the European edition available October 20th, a welcome pay-off for Angélique, and one that more than compensates for the time and finance put in. “I will never earn any money out of this Our Myspace documentary,” she says, “on the contrary, I have lost some. But I had to do it anyway. I was not motivated Popping A Lozenge Into Her Mouth by money, I really needed to create something. I never hoped that I would sell it.” Quink Ink Don't Blot Ry Russo-Young The finished film has proved a deserving hit with critics and the audience it has so far found, owing in part Senses Of Cinema to its openness and accessibility, and has achieved another of its aims (that it has in common with this Things Crossed Out zine), to bring these works to new audiences. Unlike many documentaries on the subject of underground Tom Moore film, which are often abstracted to the point of being avant garde themselves, Llik Your Idols needs no Urban Cowgirl Productions foreknowledge. “I hope I don’t make films for myself,” she says. “I have tried to make Llik Your Idols a We Got Power Films documentary that could interest people who wouldn’t know a thing about this scene. The idea is to spread What They Could Do, They Did the word.” Words That Loiter It’s an attitude in the film that chimes with Angélique’s overall outlook towards the creative process, particularly when coming up against production obstacles or negotiating such dark subject matter, as she SEARCH THIS BLOG did in this documentary and her upcoming portrait of Bruce LaBruce. She approaches her work and stays motivated by “being stupid, dreamy and pretending to be naïve…do I sound like Cinderella?” As seen in Llik Search Your Idols, this naïve, questioning, curious presence wading through stories of bondage, torture and hard powered by drug abuse is more Lewis Carroll’s Alice. You get the sense that this kind of investigation, of involvement, is why she prefers documentary to fiction. “I don’t think fiction is a natural penchant of mine,” she confirms. “I have had one single valid idea for a short film but gave up too easily when told there was a feature film doing the same thing already. Documentary, [though], allows me to work with music, play with the edit, travel, get into funny situations, meet some people. I can be the control freak I truly am and follow the tide at the same time.” Angel’s investigations are about to yield two more documentary features, partly the result of a productive (in total contrast to her past experience) partnership with independent producers and distributors Le Chat Qui Fume – “amazing people to work with” – who have given her as free a reign as possible in their production. The first chronicles the work of controversial gay porn-art filmmaker Bruce LaBruce, and the second follows French designer lingerie icon Fifi Chachnil. “I would like to spend more time trying to learn photography after I have finished them I think,” referring again to her reluctance to be any one thing for long. You suspect though that, even in a different medium, Angélique’s inquisitive world view will shine through. Any investigation is about making connections, and Angélique’s films to date show this particularly, her subjects as pieces of a large and slowly emerging picture. Richard Kern or Fifi Chachnil, “to me there’s a link between all these people.” In the five years of making Llik Your Idols, she proved she has the patience and the curiosity to never stop looking..

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The rise of neo-conservatism defined the critical context of many appraisals of artistic work produced in downtown New York in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Although initial reviews of the scene were largely enthusiastic, subsequent assessments of artistic work from this period have been largely negative. Artists like Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Kenny Scharf have been assessed primarily in terms of gentrification, commodification, and political commitment relying upon various theoretical assumptions about social processes. The conclusions reached have primarily centred upon the lack of resistance by these artists to post­ industrial capitalism in its various manifestations.

  • YOU KILLED ME FIRST the Cinema of Transgression Press Release
    YOU KILLED ME FIRST The Cinema of Transgression Press Release February 19 – April 9, 2012 Opening: Saturday, February 18, 2012, 5–10 pm Press Preview: Friday, February 17, 2012, 11 am Karen Finley, Tessa Hughes-Freeland, Richard Kern, Lung Leg, Lydia Lunch, Kembra Pfahler, Casandra Stark, Tommy Turner, David Wojnarowicz, Nick Zedd “Basically, in one sentence, give us the definition of the ‚Cinema of Transgression’.” Nick Zedd: “Fuck you.” In the 1980s a group of filmmakers emerged from the Lower East Side, New York, whose shared aims Nick Zedd later postulated in the Cinema of Transgression manifesto: „We propose … that any film which doesn’t shock isn’t worth looking at. … We propose to go beyond all limits set or prescribed by taste, morality or any other traditional value system shackling the minds of men. … There will be blood, shame, pain and ecstasy, the likes of which no one has yet imagined.“ While the Reagan government mainly focused on counteracting the decline of traditional family values, the filmmakers went on a collision course with the conventions of American society by dealing with life in the Lower East Side defined by criminality, brutality, drugs, AIDS, sex, and excess. Nightmarish scenarios of violence, dramatic states of mind, and perverse sexual abysses – sometimes shot with stolen camera equipment, the low budget films, which were consciously aimed at shock, provocation, and confrontation, bear witness to an extraordinary radicality. The films stridently analyze a reality of social hardship met with sociopolitical indifference. Although all the filmmakers of the Cinema of Transgression shared a belief in a radical form of moral and aesthetic transgression the films themselves emerged from an individual inner necessity; thus following a very personal visual sense and demonstratively subjective readings of various living realities.

By Lee Gardner Posted June 3, 2009 at 11:21 a.m. 0 Comments Like Sign Up to see what your friends like. | Once upon a time, you got your subculture news from sporadic Xeroxed “fanzines,” and if you read about an obscure film that sounded interesting, you often had to get a money order (a pre-PayPal form of remuneration useful for dealing with persons unknown to you) and mail it off to some specialty video shop in some far-off exotic urban center such as Cleveland or New York City, and the person who received that money order would then mail you a musty-smelling VHS cassette (often an illicit dub) to watch in your crappy Fort Sanders apartment. That’s how many of us first encountered the work of the likes of Richard Kern and Nick Zedd, filmmakers with zero budget and zero polish who delved deeply into the subterranean obsessions of the era: sex, guns, noise, inky black humor, violence, outrage, etc. Now Kern, Zedd, and the other filmmakers involved in the so-called “Cinema of Transgression” movement of the early 1980s are feted in the documentary Llik Your Idols (Le Latest Blog Entries Chat Qui Fum), a new DVD release available delivered to your door by Netflix or possibly, thanks to some Swedish kid, ready for downloading gratis straight to your laptop anywhere CLASSICAL CAFE Spring Break Week Miscellany there’s wi-fi.

  • Introduction 1 Situating the Controlled Body 2 Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, and Sadomasochism (BDSM) At
    Notes Introduction 1. In many respects, Blaine’s London feat is part of that shift. Whereas his entombment in ice in New York in 2000 prompted a media focus on his pun- ishing preparations (see Anonymous 2000, 17; Gordon 2000a, 11 and 2000b, 17), his time in the box brought much ridicule and various attempts to make the experience more intense, for instance a man beating a drum to deprive Blaine of sleep and a ‘flash mob’ tormenting him with hamburgers. 2. For some artists, pain is fundamental to the performance, but Franko B uses local anaesthetic, as he considers the end effect more important than the pain. 3. BDSM is regarded by many as less pejorative than sadomasochism; others choose S&M, S/M and SM. Throughout the book I retain each author’s appel- lation but see them fitting into the overarching concept of BDSM. 4. Within the BDSM scene there are specific distinctions and pairings of tops/ bottoms, Doms/subs and Masters/slaves, with increasing levels of control of the latter in each pairing by the former; for instance, a bottom will be the ‘receiver’ or takes the ‘passive’ part in a scene, whilst a sub will surrender control of part of their life to their Dominant. For the purposes of this book, I use the terms top and bottom (except when citing opinions of others) to suggest the respec- tive positions as I am mostly referring to broader notions of control. 5. Stressing its performative qualities, the term ‘scene’ is frequently used for the engagement in actual BDSM acts; others choose the term ‘play’, which as well as stressing its separation from the real has the advantage of indicating it is governed by predetermined rules.

    BAMcinématek presents Punk Rock Girls, an 11-film survey of cinema’s toughest she-rockers, May 7—Jun 1 Opens with a sneak preview of Lukas Moodysson’s We Are The Best! with Moodysson in person Director Slava Tsukerman in person for Liquid Sky The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Apr 18, 2014—From Wednesday, May 7 through Sunday, June 1, BAMcinématek presents Punk Rock Girls, an 11-film survey of cinema’s toughest she-rockers. To mark the release of Lukas Moodysson’s (Show Me Love, Lilya 4-Ever) punk rock valentine, We Are the Best!, BAMcinématek pays homage to the fearless, mohawk-sporting, safety pin-wearing, guitar- wielding women who stick it to The Man. Opening the series on Wednesday, May 7 is a sneak preview of We Are the Best!, in which three rebellious Stockholm tween girls start a punk band. Adapted from a graphic novel by the director’s wife, the film premiered at Toronto last year and simultaneously “captures the DIY empowerment of punk rock, the bond of female friendships, and parodies the era’s Oi!-scenester stances all in one blissful swoop” (David Fear, The Village Voice). Moodysson will appear in person for a Q&A following the screening. We Are the Best! is a Magnolia Pictures release and opens May 30. Diane Lane, Laura Dern, and Marin Kanter play another trio of teen punk girls in Lou Adler’s Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains (1982—May 31), which screenwriter Nancy Dowd (Coming Home, Slap Shot) was inspired to write after attending her first Ramones show.

From the film festi- A Short History of the Fleapit An Interview with Mink Stole val to the ad hoc DIY screening, these articles adventure into the sometimes forebod- James Riley Bradley Tuck and Melanie Mulholland ing landscape of film screenings. The following articles explore the topic of the carni- valesque, both as an expression of working class culture and queer excess. Frances Hatherley opens up this theme with an article on the TV show Shameless exploring the 12 Tyrell48 & Back demonisation of the working classes in Britain and mode of politicisation and defiance The Chicago Underground Film Festival Amelia Ishmael Susan Tyrell Obituary embedded in the TV show itself. Through Frances’ article, we discover in Shameless, Melanie Mulhullond not the somber working class of Mike Leigh or Ken Loach, but the trailer trash of John Waters.

Abstract NOT ART: AN ACTION IDSTORY OF BRITISH UNDERGROUND CINEMA My thesis is both an oppositional history and a (re)definition of British Underground Cinema culture (1959 - 2(02). The historical significance of Underground Cinema has long been ideologically entangled in a mesh of academic typologies and ultra leftist rhetoric, abducting it from those directly involved. The intention of my work is to return definition to the 'object' of study, to write from within.
