OC roars into its 31^st year with an all-too-rare visit by the world’s leading writer on transgressive cinema. Now based in Australia, Jack Sargeant leap-frogs into SFO on his way back from the Slamdance jury to unveil his provocative new Amok Books title. With earlier works Against Control, Deathtripping, and Naked Lens also on the table, Jack’s here to talk bodies, Bataille, Ballard, and Burroughs, his frank insights framing a set of exemplary works from Ian Kerkhof, Usama Alshaibi, and others from cinema’s libidinal realms. Opening, we exploit themes from the Sargeant oeuvre: Otto Muehl’s Materialactions, Andre Perkowski’s Nova Express, Antony Balch’s ultra-rare Psychomontage, and a debut by bass–guitarist/dominatrix Miss Burge, all after a book-signing reception for both Jack’s and our own new OtherZine release. Dream Machine in full effect!
