If you missed Italian Stallion when I played it last year at my Super-8 Sex Movie Madness show, you’ll have another chance this weekend when I screen it (in it’s glorious condensed 18-minute super-8 cut) at the Super Swingers ’70s Night at The Way Out Club this Saturday Nov 23rd beginning at 9pm. I’ll be showing Italian Stallion and some other films of that nature that are not pornography, but a certain type of R-Rated film that one may have enjoyed at the Drive-ins in the 1970′s. The other swinging films I’ll be screening that night include Flesh Gordon, Swinging Stewardesses, Ed Wood’s Glen Or Glenda, and a ’70s Sexploitation trailer reel.
The Way Out Club is located at 2525 Jefferson Avenue in South St. Louis

In 1970, six years before he ran up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art to Bill Conti.s anthem in Rocky, Sylvester Stallone claims he was living in a bus shelter and needed money. So like many hungry actors he agreed to star and appear nude in a sex film and was paid $200 for two days work. The resulting film was a 60-minute drama with a $5000 budget titled Party At Kitty And Stud.S.
So what does the audience get for Stallone.s $200 gig? Basically, it is a standard-issue early 70s skin flick but it.s the type of arty skin flick popular at the time, two years before hardcore features like Deep Throat broke through to the masses. A .sex. film at that time meant lots of nudity and simulated intercourse. Hard-core penetration footage could be found in shorts and .loops. but features at this time usually just...

We know you guys are always on the lookout for rare and unusual films so when we got the announcement that RaroVideo will be releasing Fernando Di Leo's Madness, starring Joe Dallesandro, in August, of course we had to share the news!
From the Press Release:
Hailed by cinephiles for expertly restoring rare films by influential filmmakers and publishing them with compelling extras, Italian film boutique RaroVideo announces Fernando Di Leo's Madness (1980) DVD release on August 14, 2012.
The film stars Joe Dallesandro, better known as the “Little Joe” mentioned in Lou Reed’s hit 1972 song “Walk on the Wild Side.” Dallesandro is considered by many to be the most famous male sex symbol of American underground films of the 20th century, having starred in Flesh, Trash, and Heat among many others.

Forget everything you think you know about Andy Warhol.
With the brilliant new book The Black Hole of the Camera: The Films of Andy Warhol, author J. J. Murphy obviously focuses in on the artist’s filmmaking career. However, Murphy may just be the first writer to integrate movies such as Couch, Eat, Empire, Lonesome Cowboys and The Chelsea Girls into the totality of Warhol’s artistic pursuits, i.e. silk screening, painting, filmmaking, videomaking, tape recording and photography.
This is, unbelievably, the first time in cinema scholarship such an endeavor has ever been undertaken. That may seem like a shame, particularly given Warhol’s enormous filmic output and his stature as one of the most important artists of the 20th century. Yet, it’s clear it’s been worth the wait for such an astute writer and Warhol film fan like Murphy to finally tackle the topic.

In the underground film world, there are some filmmakers who are still so obscure that they’re virtually unknown to anybody. One of those filmmakers is Avery Willard. However, documentarian Cary Kehayan hopes to change that in the very near future. Embedded above is a preview trailer of the upcoming doc In Search of Avery Willard, which hopes to bring the work of this pioneering gay avant-garde film artist to a more public light. Warning: The trailer is very Nsfw thanks to the frank display of male full frontal nudity taken from Willard’s gorgeously shot footage included in it.
In a blog post, Kehayan covers his discovery of Willard’s films while doing research for the Queer/Art/Film screening series at the IFC Center with fellow filmmaker Ira Sachs. The pair headed to the New York Public Library’s Manuscripts and Archives Division where, as Kehayan explains:

Spanish underground filmmaker Carlos Atanes has posted an ominous teaser trailer for his upcoming film Gallino, which is being subtitled The Chicken System and comes with the description, “A pornophilosophical film.” Although the trailer reveals little as to what all that means, it is a pretty spooky preview.
Atanes has directed numerous films reviewed on Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film — Faq, Proxima and Maximum Shame among them — so we’re very excited by this new endeavor.
Keep up with Atanes’ latest progress on this project and others at his official blog.

Andy Warhol, the insanely influential and iconic multimedia pop artist, was born on Aug. 6, 1928. He would have been 83 today. He passed away on Feb. 22, 1987 following complications due to gall bladder surgery, which really sucks because one gets the feeling that Andy would have totally loved and embraced the Internet and incorporated it into his work.
Warhol made the bulk of his films between 1963 and 1968 when he became notorious for shooting extremely long movies of monotonous tasks. Many of these movies were named after the task performed on camera, including Sleep, Eat, Kiss and Haircut.
But the most notorious of his static films is 1964′s Empire, a non-moving cinematic portrait of the spire of NYC’s Empire State Building that, when screened, runs for 8 hours. Empire was photographed by Jonas Mekas and the filming of which was named Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film’s sixth most outrageous moment in underground film history.

Everybody wants Joe. In the Paul Morrissey directed Heat from 1972, Warhol superstar Joe Dallesandro plays an ex-child star who now sleeps around to get by in Hollywood. Among his conquests is an aging actress, Sally (Sylvia Myles), whose glamorous heyday has long passed her by. While she wants to help Joe attain his dreams, her goodwill may be undone by her psychotic, potentially lesbian daughter Jessie (Andrea Feldman).
This was the third film in Morrissey’s so-called “trash trilogy” that also included the films Flesh (1968) and Trash (1970). All three films, plus the Andy Warhol directed Lonesome Cowboys (1968) will be screening as part of a Dallesandro retrospective at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival on August 19-28.

Destroy All Movies! That’s the cheeky theme to the 12th annual Melbourne Underground Film Festival, which will run on August 19-28.
Festival director Richard Wolstencroft lays out his philosophy for this year’s Muff in an excellent Director’s Statement, which is published in the fest’s program guide. He explains his provocative statement as thus:
“Destroy All Movies” can be taken as a query, a question and even a complaint about cinema itself. Most of us love movies. I still do, of course. I am obsessed by them as ever. Making, watching and showing them. But how often do we question our passion in this kind of ontological sense?
In that regard, Muff is a much more focused and scaled back event this year with less films screening, but with a tighter consideration of local talent, as well as a larger, more provocative stance as ever.

Canadian horror and exploitation film fans making their way to London, Ontario’s first-ever Shock Stock convention (running April 29-May 1) will be thrilled to learn that legendary Andy Warhol disciple/actor Joe Dallesandro (pictured) will be appearing. Fans know Dallesandro not only for his landmark New York art/porn hits Flesh, Trash and Heat, but for the wild Paul Morrissey-directed cult favorites Flesh For Frankenstein (a.k.a. Andy Warhol’S Frankenstein) and Blood For Dracula (a.k.a. Andy Warhol’S Dracula).

A lot of hay has been made lately about the future of Netflix streaming movies over the Internet for its subscribers as opposed to their original business model of being a mail-order DVD rental service. A good recent article on the subject was written by Chuck Tryon, who waded through all the hype and arguments against to try to figure out what impact Internet streaming of movies has on the movie industry.
Well, forget about the industry for the moment. How is Netflix streaming affecting the underground filmmaker?
Personally, I’m not a Netflix subscriber, so wading through their offerings is a bit more difficult for me. However, I was still curious if the company was streaming any underground movies. To find out if they were, I ended up searching a website called Instant Watcher, which is a company independent of Netflix, but uses a Netflix developer Api to scan...

Q: Dear Monkey, both wingéd and winsome, my other half has beseeched me to ply my troth to him and ask your opinion to settle our dispute. (I'll cut with the thesaurus now.) With The Princess and the Frog recently out, we got to thinking back over some of the other Disney classics, trying to decide which one was the most gay. I say it was Mulan due to the cross-dressing/gender issues theme and the voices of both Harvey Fierstein and George Takei in the cast. He says it was The Little Mermaid because the design for the sea-witch was based on Divine, the drag artist, and Howard Ashman wrote the songs, including the gay-resonant "Part of That World". Are either of us right? – Jeremy, Orem, Utah...

Obnoxious drag queens, sleepy hustlers, washed-up starlets, effeminate vampires, and sickly junkies were among the miscreants and lowlifes that inhabited a series of films made in the 60’s and 70’s under the banner of the Andy Warhol “Factory” label. Though the eccentric artist himself had virtually no creative input, Andy Warhol’S Flesh (1968), Andy Warhol’S Trash (1970), and Andy Warhol’S Heat (1972) though low-budget and mostly improvised, were milestones in underground independent cinema. The final film made under the Warhol banner was 1977’s Andy Warhol’S Bad, one of the most shocking black comedies of the 1970’s. Andy Warhol’S Bad differs from the earlier Warhol films because of its higher production values (a 1.5 million dollar budget) and studio-friendly casting, but retains its sense of underground cred thanks to a demented script by Pat Hackett and George Abagnalo that breaks many taboos of the time to create a hilarious deadpan satire.

Cologne, Germany -- Joe Dallesandro, the actor immortalized by Andy Warhol in films such as "Flesh," "Trash" and "Heat" and by Lou Reed in his classic song "Walk on the Wild Side," will be honored with a special Teddy Award at next month's Berlin International Film Festival.
A Berlin institution, the Teddy Awards honor achievement in gay and lesbian cinema. Last year, Tilda Swinton received a special Teddy for her work with late British director Derek Jarman.
Dallesandro will receive his golden Teddy at a Feb. 13 ceremony.
Two films featuring the actor also will screen at this year's Berlinale: "Little Joe," Nicole Haeusser's new documentary on Dallesandro, and Catherine Breillat's "Tapage Nocture," which won Berlin's Panorama Audience Award in 1979.
