We call this night HUMP NIGHT.
The first two films are for consumption for people under 19 years of age. The first two films are your appetizers. They are fun and frothy and made by saucy female filmmakers.
The next 3 are also made by saucy fimmakers that push that edge a little more until it uncomfortably snaps right back at you.
It you want to be ‘blown’ away, and see how we cross the line between what some would call ‘porn’ and ART, then you want to see these films and get ready for a healthy and open dicussion you won’t find around any dinner table in the 1950s or hell, even now…
Sexy Clown Bitch

Horsefingers 3: Starfucker
Director, Kirsten Kearse, USA/Australia
Emma (played by Maria Thayer, “Strangers With Candy”) is costumed and ready for her cult meeting but she’s got the wrong address. Uncomfortable in her wig and horse hooves, Emma hangs out at a local bar, not sure what to do. She bumps into Lem, an actor from a movie she worked on years ago. He doesn’t recognize her but he does like the cut of her hoof. What follows is a bizarre date between a script supervisor in a costume and a minor movie star. Funny, unsettling and a little creepy, Horsefingers 3: Starfucker provides a life lesson to be remembered.

Steven X and Barbara C
Director, Barbara DeGenevieve, USA
In Steven X and Barbara C, the viewer occupies a position that migrates from confidant to voyeur to judge. In real-time monologues from two talking heads – man on the left and woman on the right – the viewer is presented with several legally and ethically problematic acts. The question is whether a crime has been committed, and if so, who has committed it – the man, the woman, or the artist behind the camera.

Susan For Now
Must be 19+ to see this film. ID will be checked
Director, Robin Franzi, USA
Robin Franzi is a middle-aged divorcee, who became so enamored with her newfound sense of sexual freedom that she made a documentary about it. A first person account of a woman who responds to ten-year celibacy by reclaiming her sexual freedom, Susan for Now follows an educational journey into the underground world of alternative lifestyles in Seattle, Washington. The film is explicit in showing sincere individuals from every walk of life who practice BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Sadism and Masochism) in a consensual and responsible manner.
Programmers’ Note: Encore presentation from 2008

Desperado
Must be 19+ to see this film. ID will be checked
Director, Barbara DeGenevieve, USA
Desperado, a semi-mockumentary, documents the unexpected seduction of the artist/professor on a road trip when she meets Daryle, a truck driver from Louisiana. A sexual relationship ensues and she visits him in four cities, each time recording their interactions. A contentious, critical, after-the-fact interview by an unseen male presence, challenges the artist’s motives for making the film, becoming increasingly combative about issues of class and the exploitation of the “innocent” truck driver.
