Description:
SEX: Film Series Co-Produced by Sex on Screen Curated by Jeffrey Brown and Kathlyn Albright Hermaphroditic transsexuals. A guided tour of 1970’s pornography. The French. The many loves of a blind man. All of these are presented for your approval in our film series. A Dash of Sprinkle Fri-Sun May 23-25 at 8:00pm In Annie Sprinkle's Herstory of Porn, legendary porn star turned performance artist Annie Sprinkle invites you on a trip to seven different movie theaters where she interacts with the best (and worst) clips of many of the 150+ movies that made her a one-of-a-kind star. Screening with Linda/Les and Annie: The First Female-to-Male Transsexual Love Story, a fun, unique, sexy and informative video docudrama about Les Nichols, a woman who became a man (and is now a surgically-made hermaphrodite). It includes an intimate view of the night he and Annie Sprinkle tried out his new, surgically-constructed penis for the first time. Oh my. The Five Senses - Shorts Package Fri-Sun May 30 - June 1 at 8:00pm In this shorts package we take a look at the importance each of the five senses plays in the sexual experience. Including El Luz En Reposo from Mexico, a film concerning the love triangle between a blind man and his two lovers; Sugar, Inc., a sensual confectionery delight from Australia; straight from the Sundance Film Festival, the short and sweet I Love You, and the uncomfortably bewitching Mark Set Burn; and everybody’s favorite story about The Girl Who Would Do Anything. Anything? Anything. Save Our Sex - The Desexualization of America Fri-Sun June 6-8 at 8:00pm With Roe v. Wade threatened and the Texas police invading people’s bedrooms, it seems that America is becoming more and more frightened of sex. In this program we show how some of us refuse to be stifled and continue to explore sexuality in these restrictive times. We are thrilled to be able to present Becky Goldberg’s New York Underground Film Festival audience favorite Hot And Bothered: Feminist Porn as the centerpiece for this provocative program. Also included in this program is Micaela O’Herlihy’s Thunder Perfect Mind, a psychedelic portrait of an aging, blind, psychic spirit dancing, retired hooker. Freedom Kiss or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the French Fri June 13 at 8:00pm The French have never been afraid to be controversial, and our current times are no exception. This program embraces this brave spirit and celebrates the moxie of the French and their enormous contribution to erotic cinema. Reel Sex - Documentary Sun June 15 at 8:00pm Maggie Manchester, Bobo Westy -- these are our porn star names. Everyone has played this game and sent themselves into gigglefits figuring out who they would be if they were a porn star. Fluffy Cumsalot, Porn Star is a fascinating and revealing documentary about how real adult film performers get their names. Hysterically funny, but also surprisingly revealing, director Nathan Garfinkel shows that there is a great deal more to a name than you might think. Includes interview footage with adult favorites Seymore Butts, Marilyn Chambers, Nina Hartley, Ron Jeremy and over 70 more of the adult entertainment world's top stars. Chick Night - Shorts Package Fri-Sun June 20-22 at 8:00pm Some of sexiest films made today are made by women. This shorts program explores and celebrates the feminine -- and often more complicated -- view of sex. Including Signe Baumane’s Love Story, a film about the separation of love and sex; Something Smells Like Fish by Peggy Wang, the hilarious animated short about action, romance and a cat; the disturbingly sensual Snapshot Of Molly And Her Man by Rene Alberta; Room 32, from Victoria Larimore - Heart Of Darkness meets Body Heat in under 10 minutes; and Seattle favorite The Fruit Movie by local filmmaker Sung Kim. And no, there won't be a pillow fight - shame on you.
