NewFest 2011: Rent Boys, Sick Comedy and a Slick Biopic

As longtime readers of Postcards from Hell's Kitchen readers will recall... Summer vacation for me means the opportunity to engage in all kinds of New Yorky people, places, and things that I'd never have the time (or residue energy) to enjoy during the regular work year...

And so it was with last week's NewFest film festival...

This year's fest seemed well run from my perspective... Even the occasional broken air conditioner, ticket order mix ups, impromptu Director Q&A's, and delayed film start times, were all handled smoothly and professionally by cheery NewFest staffers...

NewFest is dedicated to bringing together filmmakers and audiences in the building of a community that passionately supports giving greater visibility and voice to a wide range of expressions and representations of the LGBT experience. We are committed to nurturing emerging LGBT and allied filmmakers. We support those artists who are willing to take risks in telling the stories that fully reflect the diversity and complexity of our lives. And we’re committed to bringing our audience stories that transform our vision of who we are and who we can be.

Through the New York LGBT film festival, presented annually since 1988, and year-round programming, NewFest celebrates fine domestic and international film as part of our mission to break through closet doors and glass ceilings everywhere.

The German documentary Rent Boys Die Jungs vom Bahnhof Zoo tackled the compelling world of male prostitution in Berlin without falling into cliche' by focussing on the psychology and sociology without the prurient appeal... The story lines focused on the biographies of five rent boys including Ionel and visiting his home village in Romania. There was also Nazif, a former civil war refugee from Bosnia who came to Germany as a child and began working the Bahnhof Zoo train station as a hustler.

The film’s main protagonist is Daniel (Pictured), who began working as a male prostitute at sixteen. He longs for a simple post-prostitution career with a simple job, raising his son, and a simple life with his female partner.

I saw a nonsense movie called Varla Jean and the Mushroomheads which was totally not my cup of tea. Interesting premise of twisted drag queen tries to alter her narcissistic career into a TV kid's show... But I draw the line at references to pedophilia (later recounted to depict that the suspect was only guilty feeding kids illegal prescription drugs... Meh). Film lacked so much of the John Water's aesthetic that it tried desperately to achieve. That's one I HIGHLY UNrecommend!

I also caught that terrific bio documentary on Carol Channing. Follow that link to my review of Carol Channing: Larger Than Life that I had published last week...

Kudos to all involved with NewFest. Here's a list of 2011 NewFest Awards.

Of course all who were able to widen their audience base with their film work were winners... The good, the bad and the ugly...

"THAT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!" - Indiana Jones

Maybe ancient relics do, Indiana Jones, but it's weird to see a Gameboy at the Henry Ford Museum alongside an old Apple computer, vintage Sesame Street clips, and a bunch of others 80s/90s stuff.

We were at the Henry Ford for Maker Faire Detroit. To suddenly switch topics: Here is a cool vacuum tube robot someone was selling. Her site seems to be down at the moment but you can look up Deanne Neiburger's etsy

You can't handle the truth

Big Up from Hattie Collins

I’d like to say a big thank you to the lovely Miss Hattie Collins (Editor of RWD magazine, Music Editor for i-D Magazine, freelance contributor for The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Q etc and all round music journalist extraordinaire) for giving me and my work a mention in her interview with Arts London News.

Hattie was one of the first people to buy one of my limited edition Spidey Pods screen prints when I brought them out so what can I say – she obviously has good taste!
My Spidey Pods prints, along with my Swirly Skulls prints, are now available at various outlets in Carnaby Street and Leicester Square, London but if you would like one direct from my good self at the commission-free price of £100 then feel free to drop me a line at waynechisnall@yahoo.co.uk
and we’ll work out how best to get one to you.
The prints are all hand pulled, 3 colour, screen prints on acid-free, archival paper. The paper size is 58.6 cm x 54.2 cm (image 38.7 x 39.4 cm). Every print is signed and numbered (maximum edition of 300).

Last Saturday in July 2011

It's the last Saturday in July 2011... Time flies when you're having fun. And summer vacation provides many opportunities for fun. This is another day where I have no plans... But will let the day unfold on it's own...

Supposed to be hot but with very low humidity. The TV weather person yesterday remarked the next two days will feel like a sauna... The following two days like a steambath... Temps are expected to be in the 90's for all but the humidity will gradually increase...

Was glad to read the upbeat piece in New York Magazine about the resurgence of the New York Times business model. I am not as optimistic about the success rate of their electronic subscription models which are off to a better than expected launch... Am hopeful. But remain unconvinced that it's all good news for old fashioned American journalism...

At Starbucks at 6am... Listening to some folksy music they have piped in and sipping my iced venti half caff...

Just tried to post from the new Android Blogger app. It was already a draft and unfortunately it published with the date that it was initially conceived instead of today... which is what I wanted. Couldn't find that setting anywhere... I'll have to fix it when I get to the desktop...

Also in New York Magazine this week was a simple and important piece on the sad regentrification of a favorite Upper West Side block on Broadway... It's a telling piece on a very serious trend that promises to destroy the entire fabric of so many New York City neighborhoods...

Bigger is rarely better around here...

OK... I want to test this Android app... So will publish now and hyperlink later...
Have a good Saturday, everyone! Whether you are in a sauna, steamroom, a fridge or a freezer... (I know I would prefer the latter for myself)....
Cheers.

Meet My Friend: Michael Orland

Michael Orland...

Swell guy... Always was...

This is a great interview of Michael Orland. No doubt you have caught his work somewhere or other over the decades since we were both performing in the same little cabaret nightclub in 1985 or so... Haven't seen Michael in years, though Facebook has helped keep in touch with so many ol' show biz friends...
