Bruce LaBruce inizia la sua carriera a metà degli anni Ottanta con una serie di cortometraggi sperimentali girati in Super 8 e creando assieme a G. B. Jones la rivista punk, «J.D.s», che segna l’inizio del movimento ‘queercore’. Tra il 1991 e il 1996, dirige tre lungometraggi nei quali è anche attore: No Skin Off My Ass, Super 8 1/2 e Hustler White. Negli anni Duemila realizza tre art/porn: Skin Flick, The Raspberry Reich e L.A. Zombie, oltre al film indipendente Otto; or, Up with Dead People. Nel 2010 dirige due documentari della serie Into the Night with... per ARTE: il primo con protagonisti Harmony Korine e Gaspar Noé, il secondo con Béatrice Dalle e Virginie Despentes. Nel 1997 scrive le sue memorie premature, The Reluctant Pornographer. L’anno seguente la Plug-In Gallery (Winnipeg, Canada) pubblica un libro sul suo lavoro, Ride Queer Ride. Dirige anche tre opere teatrali: Cheap Blacky (2007), The Bad Breast; or, The Strange Case of Theda Lange (2009) e Macho Family Romance (2009). Collabora con numerose riviste e giornali sia come scrittore che come fotografo. La sua prima mostra fotografica è presso l’Alleged Gallery di New York nel 1999, mentre la più recente, “Bruce LaBruce Retrospective”, viene inaugurata al MoMA di New York nel 2015. Tra le sue molteplici attività vanta anche la regia di un’opera, l’adattamento del Pierrot Lunaire di Arnold Schönberg, realizzata a Berlino nel 2011. Tre anni dopo, con la trasposizione cinematografica sempre del Pierrot Lunaire, si aggiudica il Teddy Award Special Jury Prize alla Berlinale. Precedentemente, nel 2013, Bruce LaBruce è stato alle Giornate degli Autori con il film Gerontophilia. In quell’occasione ha incontrato anche i giovani di 28 Times Cinema. www.brucelabruce.com .

GERONTOPHILIA Gerontophilia: (jə-rän-to-fil-e-ə)- - noun - the love or sexual preference for the elderly. Pier-Gabriel Lajoie Walter Borden Katie Boland Marie-Hélène Thibault FILMOPTION INTERNATIONAL presents a 1976 PRODUCTIONS / NEW REAL FILMS production GERONTOPHILIA A FILM BY BRUCE LABRUCE 82 minutes / Color / 2.35 / HD / 2013 SYNOPSIS 18-year-old Lake has a sweet activist girlfriend, but one day discovers he has an unusual attraction for the elderly. Fate conspires to land him a summer job at a nursing home where he develops a tender relationship with Mr. Peabody. Discovering that the patients are being over- medicated to make them easier to manage, Lake decides to wean Mr. Peabody off this medication and help him escape, resulting in a humorous and heartfelt road trip that strengthens their bond. The always provocative Bruce LaBruce is back with a new romantic comedy (of sorts). INTERVIEW WITH BRUCE LABRUCE How did you come to the idea of a romance between a young man and an elderly? Over the years I’ve encountered a number of young people with very specific fetishes involving relationships with much older people, and it’s always intrigued me. I’ve been told stories, most often by younger men, of their first sexual experience having been with a man in his sixties or older, and there always seemed to be a pedagogical aspect to the relationship, as well as a deep affection. Sometimes it’s a one time thing, but sometimes the fetish seems to persist. I also made a film, Hustler White, about male prostitutes and their relationships to their often much older johns.

I put recent research in surveillance studies, particularly work on informational doubling, in conversation with the concepts of the uncanny and the doppelgänger to reconsider the legacy of screen theory and cinematic discipline in relation to the ongoing ideological struggle between normativity and queerness. I begin my investigation in and around the Stonewall era examining the gothic roots and incarnation of gay identity.

That’s it. Raise it as a protest against all the injustices perpetrated against your kind. Raise it in solidarity with the weak and the lonely and the dispossessed of the earth, for the misfits and the sissies and the plague-ridden faggots who have been buried and forgotten by the heartless, merciless, hetero-fascist majority. Rise! Rise!” So declares Medea Yarn, the strident radical filmmaker in Bruce LaBruce’s film-within-a-film, Otto; or, Up with Dead People (2008). A zombie-political-porno, which, like most of La Bruce’s work, arouses, amuses, and repels at once, Otto is an incisive critique of gay consumer culture, and its mindless assimilation of bourgeoisie values. The critique has remained fundamental to the director’s queercore aesthetic since the mid-1980s, when BLAB (the artist’s chosen acronym) developed his prescient queer punk zine, J.D.s (co-edited with G.B. Jones). http://logger.believermag.com/post/87209818064/brucito-subversivo Page 2 sur 20 The Believer Logger - Brucito Subversivo — Brucito Subversivo 20/07/2014 18:04 Not surprisingly, his first feature films, No Skin off My Ass (1993), Super 8½(1993), and Hustler White (1996), with their B-movie depictions of taboo desire, from a skinhead fetish to gang rape and amputee sex, cemented BLAB’s cult status as the reigning daddy of queercore film.

On the 20Th Annual Chicago Underground Film Festival
Free One+One Filmmakers Journal Issue 12: Trash, Exploitation and Cult Volume 2 Contents Where volume one focused on Exploitation cinema and the appropriation of its tropes in commercial and art cinema, this volume changes tact, exploring themes of film exhibition and the Carnivalesque. 04 39 The first two articles are dedicated to the former theme. In these articles James Riley White Walls and Empty Rooms: From Cult to Cabaret: and Amelia Ishmael explore the exhibition of underground cinema. 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. Appropriately, therefore, this articles is swiftly followed by a discussion between 24 James Marcus Tucker and Juliet Jacques on Rosa von Praunheim’s City of Lost Souls; Defensive Pleasures: Gerontophila51 a film that wallows in the carnivalesque decadence of queer life. City of Lost Souls is a Class, Carnivalesque and Shameless Bruce LaBruce film that springs from a tradition of queer cinema with obvious parallels with the works Frances Hatherley of Paul Morrissey, Jack Smith, George and Mike Kuchar and John Waters.
