In Tromaville, three women warriors find themselves on the run and kicking in the teeth of every misogynist that dares to cross their path.

In 2007, 11 years after one of the most influential American punk bands, Jawbreaker, called it quits, the three members, Blake Schwarzenbach, Chris Bauermeister, and Adam Pfahler reconnect in a San Francisco recording studio to listen back to their albums, reminisce and even perform together one last time. Follow the band as they retell their "rags to riches to rags" story writhe with inner band turmoil, health issues, and the aftermath of signing to a major label. Featuring interviews with Billy Joe Armstrong, Steve Albini, Jessica Hopper, Graham Elliot, Chris Shifflet, Josh Caterer and more.

The Advocate for Fagdom unites the puzzle pieces one by one. Testimonies are combined with rare archive images. Art galeries present movie extracts that are succeeded by images shot on location. And the other way round. Writers, film makers, art galeries owners, actors and actresses, photographers, producers, friends and loved ones all join in a game of interpretation, analysis or simple anecdotes. John Waters, Bruce Benderson, Harmony Korine, Gus Van Sant, Richard Kern, Rick Castro and others deliver their impressions, theories and confessions. Everything blends into the fascinating portrait of a singular person blessed with singular talents. A complex personality at war not with a system but all systems. The portrait of a man constantly moving between his punk attitude and extreme sensibility.

In the years before Ronald Reagan took office, Manhattan was in ruins. But true art has never come from comfort, and it was precisely those dire circumstances that inspired artists like Jim Jarmusch, Lizzy Borden, and Amos Poe to produce some of their best works. Taking their cues from punk rock and new wave music, these young maverick filmmakers confronted viewers with a stark reality that stood in powerful contrast to the escapist product being churned out by Hollywood.

베를린 외곽 한 묘지에서 깨어난 좀비 오토는 베를린에서 정치적 포르노그래피 좀비 영화인 을 제작 중이던 메데아를 만난다. 영화의 주인공인 좀비 역의 배우를 찾고 있던 메데아는 오토를 캐스팅하고, 갈 곳 없이 떠돌던 오토는 배우인 아돌프와 함께 지내기 시작한다. 한편 오토는 문득문득 떠오르는 과거의 기억에 혼란스러워하고, 급기야 기억의 파편속에 존재하는 남자친구를 찾아가기에 이른다. 과거 소년 시절의 살아있던 기억이 찾아오면서 오토는 좀비로서의 자신의 존재를 의심하기 시작한다. 살아있는 시체인 좀비로서의 존재를 의심하게 된다면, 과연 좀비로 남기 위한 오토의 선택은 무엇이 될 것인가. 아마도 퀴어 시네마 지형에서 가장 이단아적인 존재로 기억될 만한 브루스 라 브루스의 신작 는 그의 주된 관심사인 좌파적 정치성, 그리고 포르노그래피에 대한 애정(!)을 좀비영화의 외피를 통해 전달한다. 라 브루스에게 좀비는 퀴어의 주변성에 대한 알레고리인 동시에 썩어빠진 정치로 가득 찬 현실세계에 정면으로 도전할 수 있는 혁명적 존재다. 영화 속 영화의 형식 안에서 그는 특유의 선동적 언더그라운드 스타일, 그리고 풍부한 예술적 레퍼런스를 호러영화의 정치성과 접속시킴으로써 혁명의 에너지를 희구하는 전복의 메시지를 던지고 있다.

Disinfo.Con contains an amazing 4 hours of footage from The Disinformation Company's massive counterculture event in New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom. New York hadn't seen anything like this since the Nova Convention in 1978 which saw Frank Zappa, Patti Smith and others anoint William Burroughs as king of the counterculture. A quarter century later Disinformation's keynote speakers Richard Metzger and Douglas Rushkoff ushered in a dizzying, day-long array of performances ranging from sword-swallowing to sanskrit chanting, interspersed with lectures and conversations with counterculture luminaries like Mondo 2000 founder R.U. Sirius, industrial music progenitor Genesis P-Orridge, Grant Morrison, Robert Anton Wilson, theorists, performance artists and others from the extremes of popular culture. Nothing beats actually experiencing an event like this in the flesh, but this DVD comes pretty close to capturing the spirit of the counterculture as we lurch into the 21st century.

Gang Girls 2000 neatly parodies the tough girl roughie genre of the 60's and 70's. When a legendary Brooklyn gang, the Sluts, invade their turf, the Lower East Side Glitter Girls are hell-bent for revenge. But a clandestine visit to Chinatown for supplies runs them afoul of the Blades. Next thing they know, things escalate into an all-out rumble at Coney Island!
