Saturday May 16, 9:00pmTheater 3Dirty Looks presents Hardcore Home Moviescurated by Bradford NordeenFiendJonesy3min., 1992, super 8 on DVShot on super 8 for projections at the legendary sex party, Fiend, in 1992, this short B&W silent reel features members of the queercore band Fagbash in solitary erotic exploits. Part portrait and part salacious dare, this never-before-screened work offers an ad hoc glimpse into unapologetic cruising and lust.Hard-Core Home MovieGreta Snider 5min., 1989, 16mmHard Core Home Movies is a frank and irreverent documentary that asks the question, “what is hard-core?” Seedy, grainy, and fast-paced, this is a nostalgic look at an ephemeral moment in the history of a subculture: punk rock in San Francisco in the late eighties. Everyone form fucked-up teenagers to elderly Mexican tourists attempt to explain the allure and mystique of the scene. Filmed at SF’s historical petting-zoo/theater/punk emporium The Farm.Birthday PartyJill Reiter9min, 1993, 16mm on DV“a queer girl’s fantasy of the best birthday party a mother could give. Being queer, the “sweet sixteen” character has only two girlfriends to invite to her party: one is the daughter of Jehovah’s Witnesses, the other a precocious slut. The party is depicted primarily in long-shot in a 1960s home-movie style. The mother is a hippie (played by a drag queen) who believes in free love, communal living and crazy parties. She has her boyfriend serve cake to the girls and brings in a male dancer and a female sex worker to entertain them.The TroublemakersG.B. Jones20min., 1990, super8 on DVThe Troublemakers follows the lives of four down-on-their-luck characters. Surrounded by the vestiges of conspicuous consumption, the struggle to survive outside of society, fashioning their own aesthetics of poverty and devising strategies to navigate a surveillance society, evading or performing for cameras everywhere.The Troublemakers is equally fact and fiction, documentary and performance, home movie and narrative – the line is blurred and distinctions become meaningless. Short in the condemned home of director G.B. Jones and lead actors Caroline Azar and Bruce LaBruce, the total cost of the film was the price of 7 cartridges, 3 minutes in length of Super 8 film.The Salivation ArmyScott Treleaven22min., 2001, Super8 on DVA tale of blood, sex, spit, punk & cult recruitment: for three years the Salivation Army operated a counterculture zine aimed at restless queer punk youth. But during their brief existence what began as a small, local gang transformed into an increasingly dangerous cult network. Part confessional, part recruitment drive, this film is at once lush, vicious, erotic and instructional. A cut and paste portrait of the underground itself.“3. Dr. Chris Teen Sex Surrogate” (from Three Faces of Women) Rick Castro 20min., 1994, Video3. Dr. Chris Teen Sex Surrogate: Fonda LaBruce and Vaginal Davis are a drag queen lesbian couple experiencing bed death. They call in therapist(Dr. Chris Teen) to help them get out of their sexual rut. (This was shot in uptown Manhattan by Bob Alvarez, the famous 70's porn-film director).Our Gay BrothersGreta Snider9min., 1993, 16mm“This collage of found film footage, assembled porn movie, children’s instructional film, sports coverage and ‘50s Hollywood musicals to construct and inverstigation into gay men’s differing attitudes towards the female body. A clever and contentious film.” Melbourne Film Festival
