Kicking off Portland Pride weekend Thursday, July 16, 7 pm Tomorrow Theater is hosting kraftwitch who will be performing a live score over James Bidgood’s 1971 queer experimental erotic film, Pink Narcissus. Shot on 8mm film and anonymously released, this lavish film has been recognized as an influential piece of queer cinema. Donal Mosher will introduce the film.
The film is an outrageous erotic poem focusing on the daydreams of a beautiful male prostitute who, from the seclusion of his ultra-kitsch apartment, conceives a series of interlinked narcissistic fantasies populated by matadors, dancing men, slaves and leather-clad bikers. Note: the unrated film contains explicit sexual content.
Tickets ($15) available at tomorrowtheater.org. Following the event, the after party, BANG: Queer Techno Transmission, takes place at Holocene (tickets for purchase separately $0-$13).
