( A bastardization of 'As You Like It' by the Immortal Bard. )

                All the world's a stage,
                And all the men and women merely players;
                They have their exits and their entrances,
                And one man in his time plays many parts,
                His acts, this weekend, being seven-fold.

Seven-fold,
can you be in seven different places,
all at the same time ?

BROOKLYN BABYLON CINEMA

What Goes Around Comes Around.

in these days of mayoral fiat and
rampant real estate speculation,
the ppl of new york city find themselves
under attack in our own home,
and alienated from our happily hurried
way of life. this screening sets out to
demonstrate how the excesses of
80's homophobia, overspending,
genocide by inaction are not so far
removed from today.

tonight's selection of films show
that AIDSphobia is STILL being used
to desexualize gay culture.
the juxtaposition of explicit lesbian sex
films ( from 1973 to 1993 ) shows how
incendiary this imagery remains.

AIDS lingers on and even while the
mortality rate is deckling, the infection rate
continues apace. so we present the somber
meditation of " Two Marches ," which reminds
us that dashed expectations are nothing new
while Stuart Gaffney's video essays pull us
into the present dilemma of problematic
AIDS treatments.

Jan Oxenberg's classic is disruptive
of homosexual complacency,
underscoring the need for a dynamic
identity politics that embraces the
stone butch as much as the
translesbianism of Texas Tomboy.

this program is defiantly experimental,
because we believe that the
narrative strategies employed by even
such " transgressive " and " controversial "
films as " Happiness " and " Boogie Nights "
serve to comfort the viewer and distract
the authentic expression of the individual.

these films are the colour of blood.

You know what's funny ?
On the same night of the CMJ Opening Party

there was the " Ethereal Gothic Fest "
@ the Pyramid Club on Avenue A.

With Sacrum Torch / Slag Recording Artist
    MORS-SYPHILITICA

I guess even the undead must have their day.

Quote of the Day from P. C. Krieger, a co-worker:
" That's it, I want something that will make
  my unborn children grow gills. "
( Parker Posey, Party Girl )

Waterworld-esque,
Yvonne.
