 ROCK THAT UKE
The ukulele is more than a tiny musical instrument. It’s a state of mind.
This eccentric documentary examines the mystical allure of this
four-stringed underdog and the recent surge of post-punk musicians who have
taken up the instrument as a counter cultural statement. From the
traditional to the distorted, today’s ukulele players have tapped into a
raucous and irreverent source of irony, angst and impotent rage. Dir.
William Preston Robertson and Sean Anderson, USA 2002, 75 min.

ANGEL OF LOVE
Outsider music has no better representative than B.J. Snowden, a substitute
teacher who writes and sings songs about Canada and the U.S. Navy. Dir. Doug
Stone, USA 2002, 21 min.

Every third Wednesday of the month The Revival House presents the best in homo-grown cinema from decades past. Specializing in the unique, rare and obscure we screen long-forgotten Hollywood and Foreign flix, art-house hits, and erotic screen gems by filmmakers such as Derek Jarman, Bruce La Bruce, Fred Halsted, and Andy Warhol.

This month we present Bruce LaBruce’s lust masterpiece of skinhead love – No Skin Off My Ass

A flamboyant and verbally active hairdresser’s world is turned upside down when he falls for (and subsequently imprisons) a seemingly mute skinhead in this funny and stylized hardcore portrait of queer punks in love.

Heralding the wave of the “New Queer Cinema” of the 90’s, No Skin Off My Ass is a combination take off on the Altman film “That Cold Day in the Park” (1969) and exercise in gay porn as art house cinema.  Out of print in the U.S. this is a rare opportunity to check out the debut feature of this raunchy and wholly visionary queer filmmaker.
