Event Description
Velvet Vision: The Story of James Bidgood and the Making of Pink NarcissusVelvet Vision is the story of photographer/director James Bidgood whose 1960’s beefcake photographs were unlike any others. Depicting elaborate fantasy scenarios drenched in lush color they transcended the genre. His film Pink Narcissus was initially credited to ‘Anonymous’ on its 1971 release date, shrouding it in mystery. Falsely attributed to Kenneth Anger and Andy Warhol, among others, it wasn’t until almost twenty years later that it was revealed to be Jim’s work.
Velvet Vision follows the process of Jim trying to shoot again after a forty-year hiatus while also delving into his past as window dresser, drag artist and costume designer. Jim’s struggles are a universal story; an outsider pursuing artistic endeavors to cope with their ostracization from society. His fantasy life became a mechanism to keep him tethered to reality as he traversed the fine line between genius and insanity.
I Love You, I Love You, I Love You...
In a distant world ruled by a queer dictatorship, a non-binary couple’s decision to marry challenges societal norms, blurring the lines of gender and love in a universe where inversions are rule and limitations are mere illusions.
