Past Perfect: Shorts

Wednesday, October 20, 9:40pm
From Barbies to 9/11, the past is rarely what we remember it to be. In these experimental shorts, a college marching band becomes THE BIONIC DOG PEOPLE OF OHIO, boys remain an ENDLESS OBSESSION and a drunken voice from beyond speaks in JUDY! JUDY! GARLAND! Join us for some quiet contemplation with the BOOKS OF JAMES, and while one man’s pain takes us NIGHT SWIMMING, experience the FECUND world of another man’s self-discovery. Float IN DEEP SKIN, root for your favorite rocker in PAXI + FIXI, and cheer the vulva in REBEL FUX: THE MOVIE! Porn classic “L.A. Tool and Die” and shots of 9/11 share the screen in SODOM ON THE HUDSON, a love letter to the New York City of times past.
