G.B. Jones "The Lollipop Generation"
Light Industry
This event has ended.
Toronto¹s G.B. Jones--creatrix of queer punk cult touchstones The
Troublemakers and The Yo-Yo Gang--arrives at Light Industry to present the New York premiere of her long-awaited feature The Lollipop Generation. A work-in-progress for over a decade, the recently completed film tells the tale of four runaway street teens who encounter a world of perverts, prostitutes and smut peddlers.
Shot across North America with a lo-fi visual cocktail of hairy Super-8 and fuzzed-out analog video, Jones¹s be-grunged epic features a cast of underground worthies, including Yo-Yo Gang star Jena von Brucker, filmmaker and 90s queer it-boy Mark Ewert, musician Jane Danger of Three Dollar Bill, alt-music hero Calvin Johnston, Joel Gibb of The Hidden Cameras, Jen Smith of The Quails, Salivation Army zinester and artist Scott Treleaven, fetish photographer Rick Castro, and legendary force of nature Vaginal Creme Davis.
Filmmaker is available for interviews.
"This legendary, unfinished film, fifteen years in the making, about the lives of under-aged porn stars is roughly to Queer Cinema what Orson Welles' The Other Side of the Wind is to, well, Cinema." Dennis Cooper
