Filmed in the dullest imaginable environment of shops along a major Los Angeles street at night when the shops were closed.
My Christmas film.
The music is a public domain recording of Artie Shaw and his orchestra playing 'There's Something in the Air' in 1936. The singer is Peg LaCentra. I found it at the Internet Archive.
This is the film by David Wojnarowicz that the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery decided to remove from a recent exhibition because of some politically motivated protest focused on its brief images of a crucifix covered with ants.
Now other museums with slightly more educated staffs are showing the film.
There's nothing wrong with making images that insult religion. There's nothing wrong with an artist or anyone else using a religious icon for purposes other than worship.
And there's nothing wrong with walking around the National Portrait Gallery with an iPad around your neck.
The Smithsonian is filled with idiots who have no strength - no courage - no conviction. No art.
This is a notebook stuffed with cinegrams, videos, poems, opinions, reviews and scraps.
A cinegram is a short motion picture that uses images and text that are packed with meaning and suggestion. It's my new word for things I once referred to as film poems.
