SUMMARY:Death Trip: The Films of Richard Kern
DESCRIPTION:In 1985\, the New York City ‘zine “The Underground Film Bulletin” published a manifesto credited to one “Orion Jeriko” that defined a new cinematic movement that would henceforth be know as “The Cinema of Transgression”.   The architects of this movement included a close nit group born of the lower-east side NoWave scene that included Nick Zedd (who used the alias of Jeriko to pen the article)\, poet/punk musician Lydia Lunch\, artist David Wojnarowicz\, and filmmakers Beth B\, Casandra Stark\, Tessa Hughes-Freeland\, Tommy Turner and Richard Kern.  Along for the ride were musical collaborators like Henry Rollins\, Sonic Youth and Foetus (J.G. Thrilwill).  Declaring that “nothing is sacred” they commanded that the violation of all that had come before was nothing less than the end game of their movement. \nThe Museum of Modern Art has called Richard Kern the “undisputed master of transgressive cinema: and a “hardcore social satirist”.  Kern is creator of some of most recognizable and often controversial films of the Cinema of Transgression.  Films that are at the extreme ends of a genre\, obsessed with perversion\, sadism\, and pitch black humor.  This collection of 10 films\, provided by Kern and preserved with the assistance of Anthology Film Archives and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts includes Kern’s first film Goodbye 42nd Street\, the Anthology Series Manhattan Love Suicides (with Nick Zedd) and his most controversial classic Fingered with co-creator Lydia Lunch. \nContent Warning: These films contain strong sexual content\, including violence\, nudity\, language\, and adult themes.  No one under 18 will be admitted. \n  \nGoodbye 42nd Street \n1983\, USA\, 5 minutes \nShots of walking down 42nd Street showing storefronts including everything from Texas Fried Chicken to 25 cent adult film arcades. \n  \nYou Killed Me First \n1985\, USA\, 12 minutes\, Featuring Karen Finley\, David Wojnarowicz\, Lung Leg with music by J.G.
