From the elixir of life, the catalytic viscosity
that is the genesis of creation, this program plays on the force that literally comes from
irrepressible queerness that can’t be contained, either by traditional desire or
lifestyles. The mainstream queer moving image world is impoverished in addressing the punk
margin. One of the tenets of experimentalism has always been a do-it-yourself aesthetic
and attitude, and punk upholds that in that you care fuck all for what anyone else thinks.
This approach then leads to wild fashion, noise as music, and an aesthetic of anarchy. All
of these works have been made in the spirit of just doing it. They are presented here to
show you a good time, but also to inspire you to think, "hey, I could make a film
too." So go out there, get spunky, and do it. Free zines to all who attend the
screening!

"Kansas Anymore": A funny and bittersweet tale of a band at the
end of the road. Sad and comfortable, it evokes memories of mildewed basements-smelly and
comfortable at the same time.
(David Wilson, 1996, 16mm to video, USA, color,
sound, 32 min.)
"The Yoyo Gang": Girl fights. Tattoos. Queer boy
sex. Betrayal and infidelity. Dyke sex. Hostage taking. Domination
and submission. And lots more as the Yo-Yo Gang battles the Skateboard bitches.
(G.B. Jones, 1992, Canada, Super8 to video, 30
min.)
"Portland": Three friends ride the rails
from SF to the idealized utopia of Portland for a week of partying but find themselves
squatting in an abandoned house where they get into a series of misadventures.
(Greta Snider, 1996, USA, 16mm, 12 min.)
"Taste the Sweat": What makes a skinhead a
skinhead wonders Martin, the schoolboy skinhead. Maybe a tattoo from the punk tattoo
artist, but those punks are not what he expected...
(Dominick and Ben Redding, 1997, USA, 16mm, 13 min)
