"THE SUBJECT IS SEX"
SCREENS FRIDAYS AT ODDBALL FILM+VIDEO
Every Friday at 8:00 PM Oddball Film+Video presents Stephen Parr�s "The Subject is Sex", an
extraordinary personal romp through the seamy side of Sex in Cinema. 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 8:00PM. The address is 275 Capp St. Admission is by
rsvp only and is $10.00. For reservations please email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 of the history of sex in the Twentieth
Century."
Program highlights include:
� 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. Copies of the dvd will be available for purchase at the screening for the
reduced price of $20 or online at http://www.othercinemadvd.com/subjectsex
Plus! Beefcakes +Cheesecakes and the infamous "Cheap Smut Give-A-Way"
