Lick the Star
This is not outright queer but is above & beyond latently so! Lick the Star is Sofia Coppola's first short film from 1998 & follows a clique of junior high girls as they navigate popularity politics, a conspiracy to poison the boys in their school, Flowers in the Attic and great 90s alternative queen bee fashion. You can watch it in its entirety below:
It should be mentioned that I found out about this little gem from fag city, a great queer blog by Billy Cheer well worth checking out.

MIX 22
God how I wish I was in NYC this week! Why?. It's time for the New York Queer Experimental Film Festival AKA MIX NYC. The festival kicks off tonight and runs through Sunday, November 22. Tonight's program is called Opening Night: Making All Local Stops and it features a short biography of Derek Jarman, a film by Gina Carducci & Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, and 11 other amazing looking films and videos by filmmakers from around the world.
I would like to say that there is one standout, must-see program at this year's festival, but after looking over the schedule every night features some sort of amazingness! (Did I mention how I wished I was in NYC for this?) However, if I had to choose only one, my gut would lead me toward tomorrow night. The show is titled Our Gorgeous Nightmares and is described like this on the MIX website:
"In the shadow of Jean Cocteau, Derek Jarman, and James Bidgood, this is an ensemble of artists who are taking their inspiration from the underworlds of the psyche and transcribing it into high-art. Where some have an aversion to expressions like “avant-garde” and “haute cinema,” others see hungry image-makers whose experimentation is ripe and dripping with glamor. We present to you a banquet of fragrant imagery and flagrant catastrophe, fashioned by directors making love with designers and actors doubling as models poised on Jungian runways in hyper-colored darkness and swimming in dreamscapes encrusted with poetic texture. Indulgence is the new black (and white). Nothing so glorious as these confections of imaginative expression…"
So, yeah, pretty much amazing! Here is "My Dead Brain" by Sarah Stuve (one of the works featured as part of Our Gorgeous Nightmares) as a taste for those of us who can't be there and if you are in NYC...PLEASE go to MIX 22!

Stuck!
After being reminded that the 28th Annual Reeling Film Festival is coming up by our friends at Think Pink Radio, I decided to take a look at the lineup to see what to look forward to from Chicago's Gay and Lesbo film fest. The FIRST thing I noticed was that Mink Stole, one of the genius stars of all the best John Waters movies, was gonna make an appearance! Then, I saw that not only is Mink making an appearance, she's in one of the films being screened.
The movie is called Stuck! and is an homage to the women in prison B movie genre of the 60's (and beyond) and was made by filmmaker Steve Balderson. As you would imagine, the movie is about a group of women in prison and their "struggles" but it's probably mostly about lesbianism. If that's not intriguing enough, it also features Karen Black (The actress/namesake of The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black) and Jane Wiedlin from The Go-Go's, so see it for the weird stars if nothing else. B/Exploitation movies are probably one of my favorite things in world, so I'm excited to see a throwback to the women in prison genre that contained some great ones like Caged Heat and Women in Cages!
Here's the trailer and mark your calendars for the Chicago screening on Friday November 6th! Also--There's a "Lesbian Lockdown/Jail Break" at Circuit (that I WILL NOT be attending) afterwards if you're into that sort of thing.

BOY trailer
After a while of talking up SSION's movie "BOY" without any kind of
visual to offer, the trailer is finally online! If you missed the
premiere in Kansas City or the screening in Chicago,
this is your first chance to get a look at, what appears to be,
another amazing project from Cody Critcheloe and SSION.

Bruce LaBruce - L.A. Zombie
The 1st trailer for Bruce LaBruce's "L.A. Zombie" has been released. Revisiting the zombie and porn genres he worked with on his last film "Otto; Or, Up with Dead People", "L.A. Zombie" stars porn star Francois Sagat (who LaBruce worked with previously on his installation "Untitled Hardcore Zombie Project" a few months back) and features appearances from out rapper Deadlee and Project Runway alum Santino Rice .
You can read Bruce's writing on "L.A. Zombie" and his history with the idea of zombies and porn in his work after the cut and check out the Gay of the Dead story on Bruce LaBruce and the film on Fangoria.
"Zombies and porn. What a beautiful combination. I have been dealing in both genres since the early nineties when I made No Skin Off My Ass, my first sexually explicit feature film, and co-starred in my friend Candys short film Interview with a Zombie, in which I played a gay member of the undead. Against all professional advice, I've been making porn movies ever since, albeit reluctantly. (I'm not a particularly avid consumer of porn, and I don't follow the industry; not unpretentiously, I consider myself not so much a pornographer as an artist who works in porn"
After making three sexually explicit features films (NSOMA, Super 8 1/2, and Hustler White), in 1999 I wrote and directed my first legitimate porno film, Skin Flick, made under the auspices of the German porn company Cazzo Films. The subject was neo-Nazi skinheads, characters that, one could argue, have a certain zombie-like quality. The hardcore version, released under the title Skin Gang, was a full-on pornographic product shot in a relatively conventional porn style, and packaged and promoted with an adult entertainment industry in mind. (It was even nominated for nine gay adult video awards in the U.S.)
My following film, The Raspberry Reich (2004), about a gang of extreme left wing would-be terrorists another zombie-esque bunch was also conceived as a porn product, although the softcore version, which nonetheless contained sexually explicit material, managed to play at over 150 film festivals worldwide. (The hardcore version, entitled The Revolution Is My Boyfriend, was released by the porn company Wurstfilm.) In 2008 I finally stopped pussyfooting around the living dead them and made an actual zombie flick, called Otto; or, Up with Dead People.
Another of my sexually explicit art films, Otto also played at more than 150 film fests despite, or perhaps because of, the infamous gut-fucking scene, in which a gay zombie penetrates a hole in the stomach of a fellow gay zombie with his undead cock. While touring the world with the film I found myself in interviews making the lofty pronouncement that I believe zombie porn is the wave of the future, and that we will soon routinely see porous, corrupted flesh being penetrated by legions of lascivious zombies. (Zombie porn is practical: you can create your own orifice!)
So by way of a self-fulfilling prophecy, and to get the ball rolling (or, I suppose, balls), I have pulled together the funding for an Untitled Hardcore Zombie Project, to be shot in LA in August, and starring one of the biggest names in the adult entertainment industry, Francois Sagat and other wellknown stars. The Zombie FX will be created by LA-based FX whiz Joe Castro. The project will combine also the production efforts of such companies as Wurstfilm, Dark Alley Media and PPV Network and individuals like Amo Roca, Photographer and James Carman, my long companion as a Director of Photography. So get ready for a revolutionary zombie porn extravaganza! -Bruce LaBruce
