Monti (Tony Ward), ein schlagfertiger Junge, der eher zufällig als Stricher auf dem Boulevard anschafft, wird von einem bohemienhaften Ausländer namens Jürgen Anger (Bruce LaBruce) beobachtet, der nach Los Angeles gekommen ist, um seine Memoiren zu schreiben. Monti begeht Fahrerflucht, nachdem er einen Kunden beraubt hat und überfährt dabei aus Versehen einen anderen Stricher. Jürgen sieht Monti nach dem Unfall und verfolgt ihn in seinem Wagen. Leider verliert er ihn aus den Augen, findet aber das zurückgelassene T-Shirt von Monti, mit dem der das Blut von seinem Auto abgewischt hat. Jürgen versucht weiterhin, Monti zu finden. Monti wird bei seinen alltäglichen Begegnungen mit anderen Strichern, Kunden oder bei einem Pornodreh beobachtet. Einige der Charaktere, die wir im Laufe des Films kennenlernen, sind Eigil (Kevin P. Scott), der Stricher, der von Monti überfahren wurde, Piglet (Ivar Johnson), der unglücklich in Eigil verliebt ist sowie die Kunden Stew Blake (Glen Meadmore), ein wiedergeborener Country- und Western-Sänger und Seymore Kasabian (RonAthey), ein Bestatter, ganz zu schweigen von den echten Pornostars Kevin Kramer und Alex Austin als sie selbst. Die Erzählstruktur des Films orientiert sich an Robert Altmans “Short Cuts”, aber man findet auch Elemente aus “Alice im Wunderland”, “Tod in Venedig”, “Was geschah wirklich mit Baby Jane?”, “Das Doppelleben der Sister George” und “Madame de…”. “Hustler White” ist auf keinen Fall ein Musical, trotzdem gibt es Musik von den Boredoms, Glen Meadmore und PME. In “Hustler White” erscheinen keine Frauen, keine Drag Queens, keine Drogen, und es gibt kein Aids. ÜBER DIE REGISSEURE Bruce LaBruce Bruce LaBruce (geboren am 3. Januar 1964 in Southampton, Ontario; eigentlich Justin Stewart) ist ein kanadischer Filmemacher, Autor und Fotograf. LaBruce lebt und arbeitet in Toronto und Berlin.

    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.

It exists in softcore and hardcore versions. The hardcore version is called ’LA. Zombie Hardcore‘. As the credits roll, an alien zombie creature (international porn star and model Francois Sagat) emerges from the Pacific Ocean. After getting picked up in the mountains by a surfer in a truck, a severe accident occurs that results in the surfer lying dead in the middle of the road. The alien zombie fucks the dead man back to life. When the creature leaves the scene and enters the city, it becomes increasingly unclear whether he really is an alien zombie or a schizophrenic homeless person who is suffering from delusions. Like a kind of dark saviour, the alien zombie proceeds to find various dead men in the Greater Los Angeles area - a white collar criminal, a gangbanger, a homeless junkie, a group of drug- addicted porn stars - and fuck them back to life.
