Kuchar Festival
Twin brothers and cult legend, no-budget independent directors George and Mike Kuchar made kitschy magic on Super 8 and 16mm film; the duo's queer, avant-garde style explored sexuality, identity, and everyday life with a campy, surreal sensibility that inspired Lynch, John Waters, and Gregg Araki. Sound incredible? I agree! A selection of Kuchar flicks will continue to screen this weekend, including a 16mm screening of The Devil's Cleavage on December 8, followed by Death Quest of The Ju-Ju Cults and Corruption of The Damned, a "beautifully filthy film about homosexuality," on December 9.
