Some Kind of Loving is the third and final video compilation tape in Joanie 4 Jackie's "Co-Star" series. [Note: Joanie 4 Jackie was formerly Big Miss Moviola.] Over the last seven years New York-based experimental movie curator Astria Suparak has arranged some of the most daring multimedia events in the city, presenting them in spaces such as PS1 Contemporary Art Center and Anthology Film Archives. But what if you don't live in New York? Joanie 4 Jackie knows that the best lady-made film and video art belongs not only in a gallery, but also in the bedrooms of girls all over America. So we asked Miss Suparak to put together a tape just for Joanie 4 Jackie. Some Kind of Loving explores sexuality from its formulation in childhood, through adolescence, and into adulthood. Using low-grade video, super-8 and 16mm film, optical printing, stop-motion animation and manipulated found-footage these five art stars decode desire and the cultural codes for lust via pornography, voyeurism, memories and fantasy.

Reviews and Other Info:
Some Kind of Loving comes with a printed booklet containing the secret thoughts and motivations of the artists. RES Magazine: Titled SOME KIND OF LOVING and curated by Astria Suparak, the new installment is an oozing, unctuous bunch of sex films that swings from the low budget Freudian antics in PEGGY AHWESH's classic "Martina's Playhouse" to the deconstructive impulses that rip through STEPHANIE BARBER's "pornfilm." All six films in the collection traipse through uncharted sexual terrain, using rough-and-ready low-end video and an appealing anti-aesthetic. Coarse and scruffy, yes, but also very hot, in a weird sort of way. --"Sex, Lies and Videotape" Bust Magazine: SOME KIND OF LOVING, curated by Astria Suparak, features five different filmmakers presenting pieces shot using various techniques [including super-8, home video, and stop-motion animation] about sex, women, and modern culture. I love this compilation and the series idea, and will look forward to seeing what JOANIE 4 JACKIE comes out with next. If you have any interest at all in women in film and video today, you should definitely get this tape. -- Kristin, "Chix in flix" The Willamette Week: Of the five films to be screened, the Brakhagian "Fine Lines" by Britain's JANE GANG is a haunting rant against the death of perception, while JENNIFER REEDER's "Lullaby" is a disturbing collision between pop culture and personal identity. --Steffen Silvis Pacific Film Archives: Some Kind of Loving "tracks female sexuality through the quagmire of loony and lascivious cultural codes.". --Steve Seid, Curator There currently are no reviews available
