Drawn from his extensive 16mm film archives, this POLYMORPHOUS PROGRAM promises a PULSATING PANORAMA OF PERVERSE PLEASURES that includes HOME MOVIES, HILLBILLY PORN, CARTOON SMUT, COMMERCIALS, TRAILERS, EDUCATIONALS, HYGIENE FILMS, BURLESQUE BITS, PEEPSHOW LOOPS and the infamous "CHEAP SMUT GIVE-A-WAY". Showtime is 8:30PM. The address is 275 Capp St. Admission is by rsvp only and is $10.00. For reservations please email: info@oddballfilm.com or call 415.558.8112. "The Subject is Sex" is drawn almost entirely from Parr's holdings at Oddball Film + Video. Founded in 1984, Oddball houses an extensive offbeat collection of over 50,000 films. Parr, a imagemaker, curator and archivist has been screening "THE SUBJECT IS SEX" (and hosting his notorious "CHEAP SMUT GIVE-A-WAY") throughout the United States and Europe for over 2 years to sellout audiences. An introductory essay in the dvd, (released by Other Cinema dvd) by Eric Schaefer, film scholar and author of "BOLD! DARING! SHOCKING! TRUE!, A History of Exploitation Film 1919-1959" (Duke University Press), lays the groundwork for this diverse compendium of moving image erotica. Schaefer writes, "The Subject is Sex" is a Rorschach test. Where some will see humor, a few will see outrage. What may be titillation for many will be a turn-off for others. But for everyone, and in every instance, you're seeing the history of sex in the twentieth century." Featuring! • The "nudie cutie" adventures of "UNCLE SI AND THE SIRENS". The classic cartoon curio "Buried Treasure" starring Eveready Hardon (with a new music score by Nik Phelps from San Francisco's Sprocket Ensemble). • "FRENCH TICKLER", a clever 1920s clip of animated fellatio. 50's classic burlesque films (including "LOVE MOODS" with famed FEMME FATALE LILI ST. CYR cavorting in a ornate bathtub). Choice 60s and 70s porn trailers (featuring the PSYCHOBILLY SMUT "MEMORIES WITHIN MISS AGGIE" and the pre-Viagra "DYNAMITE"). • "970-KATHY" - a kinky, campy late 80's commercial for phone sex. "The Subject is Sex" also contains soft core selections with hidden or unintended erotic messages. A Jade East cologne commercial featuring sexy JAPANESE GO-GO DANCERS becomes a sexual exhortation for men to take matters into their own hands, a home movie ("CROSSING THE EQUATOR") becomes a surreal souvenir of cross dressing seafarers, and the US Navy training film "HOW TO GIVE AN ENEMA" turns into a kinky homo erotic lesson in water sports. By compiling these generous gems in to a full-length collection, "THE SUBJECT IS SEX" brings together commercial, camp, comedy, and explicit sex all in one gender-bending, genre-bending, lovefest. Plus! WIN FREE PRIZES IN THE INFAMOUS "CHEAP SMUT GIVE-A-WAY"
