The Homocult Show Shakes Up Bridgeport this Weekend
This is not for the faint of heart, but few good things are: The Homocult Show (featuring a screening of Homocult & other Esoterica) takes place this weekend at S&S Project(NSFW) in Bridgeport, and a visit is highly recommended, especially if you're looking to step a little outside of the box.
Homocult & other Esoterica is a group of short experimental queer films focused on magick & the occult, curated by Daniel McKernan.
Many of the films capture the spirit of arch-gay cinematic spell-casters Kenneth Anger and Derek Jarman, especially those made by the program's more (in)famous participants, such as Throbbing Gristle alumni Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and Peter Christopherson. The younger contributors, such as Black Sun Productions, are clearly influenced by P-Orridge and Christopherson's bold career choices; their homages make the films crackle with cross-generational currents of erotic, creative energy. -- Flavorpill
The visual art portion of The Homocult Show is presented by S&S Project and co-curated by Erik Peterson and Jonathan Sommer in conjunction with the screenings. It features the artwork of Christos Andrews, Elijah Burgher, ColectivoMultipolar, Maj Furani, Erika Keck, George Keller, Armando Lozano, Daniel McKernan, Sofia Moreno and Erik Peterson (selected works pictured at top).
The Homocult Show takes place all weekend long at S&S Project (3145 S. Morgan St.): April 6 & 7 starting at 7pm and April 8 at 4pm.
