Transgressed

Le Chat qui fume, a French distribution company of experimental cinema and erotica, are releasing their first DVD in the US through Music Video Distributions. Angélique Bosio's Llik Your Idols, a documentary about underground and transgressive cinema, will be released on 15 May. Llik Your Idols features interviews from Richard Kern, Nick Zedd, Lydia Lunch, Bruce LaBruce, Richard Hell, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, author Jack Sargeant and artist Joe Coleman. Also featured on the disc is Nick Zedd's War Is Menstrual Envy, which was previously only available through his website; only a clip of the film, which stars Zedd, Annie Sprinkle and Kembra Pfahler, shows up on the Abnormal: The Sinema of Nick Zedd disc. Zedd's short Police State is also on the disc.

Kern, Lunch, Stealth

Not much excitement stirring on the new-to-DVD front, but there's two titles I've found that may be of some minor interest. Firstly, Music Video Distributors will have a "Video Hysterie" of that slutty Lydia Lunch on 10 June. On a similar topic, I found out a few of the shorts on the Richard Kern: Extra Action (and Extra Hardcore) DVD from MVD, though I have yet to purchase it. The shorts include The King of Sex (a Killdozer music video featuring Nick Zedd... it's fantastic, by the way), Pierce (which features Kern regular Audrey Rose getting her nipples done), Scooter & Jinx in Money Love (a saucy Sonic Youth music video), Nazi (which I know nothing about) and Goodbye 42nd Street.

Also, Water Bearer Films will be releasing Lionel Baier's Stealth [Comme des voleurs] from Switzerland on 24 June. You may know Baier from his last film the is-it-trash-or-art Garçon stupide (to which I learn more toward the 'trash' side). The film stars Baier as a Swiss gay man with an obsession with Polish culture. That's all I got.
