FESTIVAL DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
A SALUTE TO YOUR DISCERNMENT
Scarlet Diva|Trail of Passion
Richard Wolstencroft
Festival Director
“A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
its loveliness increases; it will
never pass into nothingness; but
still will keep a bower quiet for
us, and a sleep full of sweet
dreams, and health, and quiet
breathing.” Book one, Endymion,
John Keats.
“Inexorable, hesitating, terrible as fate, the great task
and question is approaching: how shall the earth as a
whole be governed? And for what shall ‘man’ as a whole
– no longer just one people, one race – be raised and
bred?” Nietzsche, from the late notebooks, 1885.
Congratulations dear reader to your taste in selecting the
Fourth Melbourne Underground Film Festival for your
visual pleasure, visceral enjoyment and eidetic
confrontation. I open this address with two guiding
quotes; one from Keats, expressing the romantic spirit
that is capable of overcoming the cynicism of
postmodernism and another from Nietzsche posing the
question of the past 120 years, how should humanity as
a whole govern itself. We hope to present to you,
discerning viewer, with our most fully realised Festival
yet! The theme this year is Politics and we have a
veritable horn o’ plenty from the many differences of
filmmaking, on theme and off, to share with you, in the
coming eleven days.
We at MUFF have always been romantics! How could
we not be? Look back at our festivals short history and
you will see a struggle to bring this event from humble
beginnings into the semblance of a truly inspirational
and exciting cultural manifestation. Only romantic spirits
could pull off such an absurdly difficult task against
many critics, odds, much adversity and the usual
difficulties of fate and circumstance. I would like to
thank Rebecca Sutherland my constant companion on
this voyage of the good ship MUFF and all the other
team, sponsors, friends and collaborators both past and
present (they are thanked by name on the credits page)
who have brought us to the temporal juncture of 2003.
I must note a few sponsors who have risen above the
call of duty this year. Peter Davey from Granada hats off
for your continuing support and friendship. David Butcher
from Cinevision deserves a special mention for providing
many dubs this year for our astute jury and the media.
Honestly, guerrilla filmmakers out there, if you want dubs
and a good deal go see Dave Butcher and tell him
MUFF sent you! You’ll get looked after, old school style.
Bill Marshall, founding sponsor and spiritual adviser to
the MUFF cause deserves particular mention for his
wisdom, experience and guidance. Also Stu from Platypus
must be thanked who helped us put together the wild
street selection to rock your world. Diamond geezers all.
It must be something Jung said about the symmetry of
the number four because this year at MUFF we are jam
packed with mischief and mayhem. Here are the
Festival Director’s highlights: Asia Argento’s scorching
hot opening night flick “Scarlet Diva”, “Ivan’s XTC” a
coked out Hollywood exec’s downfall, “The Magician” a
Melbourne hit man’s video diary and one of the best OZ
films ever entered in MUFF - a must see!!!, “Duck! The
Carbine High Massacre” a recreation of Columbine high
school shootings by exploitation production house
Factory 2000, “I Am Curious: Yellow”- the politics of
sex Swedish 60’s style, “Disinformation” the Richard
Metzger UK TV series never shown in OZ, “Reverend Billy
and the Church of Stop Shopping” anti-capitalist and
globalization prankster and comedian, “Dark Secrets” inside the elite secret society of politicians and
businessmen at the Bohemian Grove retreat that
supposedly secretly control the world and worship a giant
Owl, the ace Free Radicals section with the brilliant
“Punishment Park”, “Plug Me In” and street art expose.
Also playing, “Gartel: the Art of fetish” featuring
international guest and digital artist Laurence Gartel in
person with Fetish/SM party afterwards, historical
revisionist documentaries from David Irving and others,
“CKY” madness from Bam Margera and crew from
“Jackass” and pro skater fame, the brilliant Jonas Mekas
retrospective all on film from the US archives and more
great Aussie underground films like Bill Mousoulis
“Lovesick”, Mark Savage’s “Trail of Passion” and
Shannon Young’s “Razor Eaters”, plus Sexy MUFF 2,
underground film makers forum and Mini-MUFF shorts
and our censorship protest. MUFF 4 is the first Festival
we have planned that truly lives up to the original dream
of what we set out to achieve.
Oh, and did I mention Chopper Read is on the MUFF
jury? Yes a first for Mark Brandon Read, a stint on a jury,
I believe he has faced one or two in the past but never
actually sat on one. So we have decided to correct this
gross oversight and get Chopper’s opinion on the best in
underground Oz and O/S movies. Cool or what?!
Talking of the real transcending into art. Let’s examine
our theme and allow me to wax lyrical about politics and
what we hope to achieve with this festival concept.
So what is the political? Is it different political schools of
thought like Marxism , Communism and Socialism, Liberal
Democracy, Utilitarianism, Anarchism and Fascism? Is it
the recent debates that surround notions like Autonomy,
03
04
CKY1|Tokyo Decadence
Justice and Equality with political thinkers such as Rawls,
Dworkin, Nozick, Anderson and Nagel. Is politics the
postmodern/deconstructive text of mostly left wing
intellectuals like Derrida, Deleuze, Zizek, Baudrillard,
Foucault and Said? Or is politics the pure application of
force and power, ‘might is right’, as we have just witnessed
in the recent incursion into Iraq and Afghanistan.
We hope to inspire you to dialogue with some of the
beliefs systems, thinkers and debates mentioned above
and to most of all take Action. That’s right we want you
to fight for what you believe in at MUFF and from the
beautiful B&W image by Gilles Perez that adorns our
catalogue and publicity materials we are open to all
ideas on how to achieve this.
Indeed, it may be only through say a violent revolution
that the current American Empire could ever be changed,
altered or overthrown. A cabal of the US plutocracy,
business and a small right wing political clique is exerting
obviously unheard of power in major Western nations,
making notions such as representative democracy null
and void.
What do I think of this political matrix? Can it be
defeated? The answer is hopefully yes. I shall share my
own theories on the matter and would be delighted to
hear yours if we meet throughout the festival.
Well I have written here and there on a desire to found a
new political ontology and have studied Martin Heidegger
on this issue and will reveal some of what I have
uncovered. Heidegger, I’m sure some of you will know,
was a member of the Nazi party from 1933 to 1945.
He held a position of Rector at Freiburg University and
attempted to bring both the University and subtly the
party under the umbrella of his thought. He resigned
after only two years disillusioned by the direction Nazism
was taking. This controversy has sparked many books
either condemning or excusing Heidegger on various
grounds, all relatively weak in thrust. The key to this
debate is to embrace Heidegger’s political conception of
Fascism: a confrontation between modern Dasein (us)
and the enframing essence of technology and recast it
along the paths and depth of his thinking, early and later.
A ‘transcendental fascism’ I have dubbed it, that is non
racist, non sexist and equipped to fight the encroachment
of the dogmas of metaphysics whether it be Christian,
Islamic, Scientific, Technological or Humanistic. The
dream is of a confrontation with the ‘will to power’ as
active nihilism and the possibility of rekindling the
remembrance of Being, bringing into existence a second
Greek epoch. I did tell you I was a romantic, didn’t I?
And why the fuck not!
Transcendental fascism as a concept interests me because
it is transcendental. The fascism of Bush, Sharon, Blair
and pals is omnipresent in these times and unadulterated
in its desire to control the planet. A new conception of
fascism will take into account the inherent paradoxes of
its nature and dialogue and interact with other political
philosophies worthy of integration like Anarchism,
Socialism and conceptions of justice, equality, liberty and
autonomy. One of my philosophy professors said this
Scenes from an Endless War
“I am very flattered to
be invited to partake
in the Melbourne
Underground Film
Festival and to be
asked to judge the
contest, and for
someone who wasn’t
even invited to the
opening night of
his own film, it is a
very nice feeling to
be welcomed by the
people at MUFF.
I have long been
a supporter of
underground culture
and look forward to
viewing this year’s
entries.”
- Chopper Read
Trail of Passion|The Opening of Missy Beethoven
theory sounded nothing at all like fascism, and I replied
“good”. But why the moniker fascism at all? What is
that line from ‘Salo’, “We fascists are the only true
anarchists” that haunts me? Well I believe fascism to be
about the brute application of power and that all politics
is inherently fascist in nature. Why transcendental then?
Because in the name of Sex, I want to change and
temper this brute fact but still retain the only force
possible to truly fight the oppressive status quo! A
paradox, of course, like the fact that there are beings
rather than nothing.
It should be noted that I have played some historical
revisionist material in MUFF 4 for reasons of freedom of
speech. I do feel though the need to debate and not
exclude at least semi reasoned questioners like David
Irving. I’m not about to sit here and deny any event like
the Jewish holocaust; as the actions of the einsatzgruppen,
the destruction and liquidation of Polish Ghettoes, obscene
racism and deportations, etc are well documented and you
will find even Irving doesn’t argue with all of this. His
arguments are detailed, the devil being in the detail and
while I don’t agree with his outlook, I believe he has a
right to freedom of speech and find no one else fighting for
it. I saw a revisionist history of Mao on sale happily at
Readings, which made no media fan fare and many such
histories of Napoleon, Churchill, World War 1, etc. that
exist and flourish. Why is the Jewish holocaust given such
precedence and almost quasi-religious status, dogmatic
legal protections and aura? The book “The Holocaust
Industry” by Norman Finkelstein, a compatriot of Chomsky
is most enlightening for those interested in further reading.
The importance of art as a guide and foundation for any
future politics is two fold. Firstly, art indeed holds the
key and saving power to our tricky situation. Through
poetry, literature, filmmaking and the other visual arts a
clearing for dialogue exists where our political being
could once again come to the fore. Secondly, art,
creativity, play and the imagination has the power to
absorb the destructive side of human nature and
transmogrify it to its world. When we have finally
learned to channel the dark sides of our nature into art
and away from the real world we will see the manifest
psychologically curative power of pornography, violent
cinema and even evil in film. This revelation is a destiny.
The struggle meanwhile must continue in both the real
and imaginary worlds of the subject. Some feel to
change the political state of affairs of capitalist
globalization is akin to halting the Roman Empire in 40
AD. This may be so! But it is no excuse for apathy,
ignorance and indolence. The resolute human being
must fight on and hope against hope that perhaps one
day ‘a god could save us all’.
Take in the Festival and do something about what you
believe in while you still have the opportunity to do so.

SCARLET DIVA
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
Dir: Asia Argento|2002|Italy|91 min|35mm
MUFF is proud to present our Opening Night film
the Australian Premiere of mega hot uber-chic Asia
Argento’s directorial debut feature, “Scarlet Diva”,
starring the femme herself. Daughter of famous Italian
horror director Dario Argento, Asia starred in many of
her Dad’s 90’s movies and recently appeared in the
Vin Diesel vehicle “XXX”. This brilliant loosely disguised
biopic features Asia trying to come up with an idea for
her directorial debut and all the adventures she gets
into. Asia’s kind of action in “Scarlet Diva” includes
scoring hash in Parisian ghettoes and fucking the
African dealer, taking special K with drug-fucked English
types, sex and decadence in Hollywood as they attempt
to woo her for a big film, forced sex with a movie
producer played by the inimitable Joe Coleman and
basically more drugs and perversion. In other words
perfect MUFF opening material. Come one cum all to
our wicked celebrity Opening Night and join us for the
wild post-film party to the wee hours of the morning.
Screening: Opening Night, George Cinemas, Thursday 3rd
July 7.30pm
RAZOR EATERS
WORLD PREMIERE
Dir: Shannon Young|2003|Australia|97 min|DVD
Our Closing Night spectacular features MUFF ingénue Shannon Young’s
(“Stygian”, MUFF 2000) sophomore feature “Razor Eaters” a rip snorting
battle of a bunch of politically motivated vigilantes video taping their crimes
and murders. The plot as quoted from the guys’ press kit: “Five angry
and motivated young men who launch an anarchistic crime spree against
Melbourne, capturing all their nasty deeds on home video. The gang quickly
grab the allegiance of the public by targeting members of society we’d
all like to see ‘get nailed’. The task of stopping them falls to hardened
detective Danny Berdan (Paul Moder), a man not afraid of bending rules to
apprehend his prey.” Mayhem ensues. Very impressive guerrilla effort and
another example of how we help foster, support and exhibit real talent here
at MUFF with our naughty little festival. Skol.

WORLD PREMIERE

IVAN’S XTC
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
Dir: Bernard Rose|2001|USA|92 min|35mm
“Ivan’s XTC” is a whacked out tale of a drug fucked
Hollywood exec that draws interesting parallels to the
notorious Don Simpson. There’s a fine line between
success and excess. Ivan Beckman, the hottest agent
in Hollywood, the heir apparent to the most powerful
agency - Media Talent Agency - has suddenly died.
Most people assume it was drugs, as Ivan has been
partying hard. His colleagues scramble to prevent Ivan’s
clients from defecting, in particular they are afraid of
losing Don West (Peter Weller), the biggest star in the
world. An intense and “moving meditation on mortality
in Hollywood...” Pete’s selection at this years MUFF!
Proudly presented by Granada Productions
A L’amour Fou tale of a couple who shut themselves off
from the world with disturbing consequences. We are
happy to present the doubly rejected from MIFF new
feature film “Lovesick” from Melbourne film activist
(see www.innersense.com.au) and prolific filmmaker
Bill Mousoulis. Bill has been active since back in the
day of the old Super-8 film group and has made over
fifty films. Well, I’ll tell you, not playing “Lovesick”
at MIFF is MIFF’s loss! Bill makes social realist films
with a twist and his style is reminiscent of the best
of the introspective French New Wave. Be sure to
catch the public premiere of this important Melbourne
underground filmmaker’s latest work.
Screening: George Cinemas, Friday 11th July 9.15pm

embarrassing human moments to be just like them.

Think “Man Bites Dog” meets “Taxi Driver”. Dogme

Ryan stars and directs and is a REAL discovery, this
guy is destined for big things. If you see one new OZ
underground film this year make “The Magician” it. It’s
called “The Magician” by the way because it’s MAGIC!

STREET SONGS
Dir: Jonas Mekas|1966/83|USA|11 min|16mm
Based on a French street performance, “Street Songs”
weaves militant political chants into mantras. Julian
Beck sits cross-legged on an empty stage chanting “Free
all men”, “Ban the bomb”, “Stop the war”, “Free the
blacks”, “Change the world”. The mixture of politics and
mysticism is given form in dramatically etched black
and white images that pulse and fluctuate with life as
the lens pulls back and zooms forward in a frenetic ebb
and flow.

Screening: George Cinemas, Wednesday 9th July 7pm
THE BRIG
Dir: Jonas Mekas|1964|USA|68 min|16mm
1963 saw the controversial off-Broadway theatre production “The Brig” by the Living Theatre Group. Filmed
on stage with the original cast, rarely has there been a
more intense cinematic adaptation of a play. Executed
with brutish authenticity, “The Brig” won the Venice
Festival Grand prize for best documentary. A polemic
drama with sonic shock waves, it is a nightmare that
suggests “Kafka with a Kodak”. The audience is placed
in a violently claustrophobic environment, a Marine
Corps stockade. The Mekas brothers put aside their
poetic sensibilities and tie us to a chair in the blistering
sun with no water, no hope, and no mercy. This film is
hard as nails.

GUNS OF THE TREES
A narrative about the counter culture of 60s New York,
a generation growing up in a decade corroded by scepticism, fatalism, paranoia and despair. The protagonists
in “Guns of the Trees” are conscious members of the
60s generation, their existential anxiety rooted at the
beginnings of a world which started with Hiroshima
and could end any day with nuclear war. With race riots
spreading through the USA and the Cuban Missile crisis
intensifying, de-stabilising fear across the social strata
is the backdrop to Mekas’ only narrative film. Loosely
based on a reading of Shelly’s Prometheus Unbound,
with voiceover by Allen Ginsberg.
Screens with Time & Fortune Vietnam Newsreel
AWARD PRESENTATION TO ANDY WARHOL
We are introduced to Mekas’ friends, most of whom
were key players in the American independent film and
art scene. Shot at Warhol’s Factory, “Presentation” is a
film record of Film Culture Magazine’s 1964 Independent film award. The soundtrack is from the Supremes,
music which was constantly played at the Factory. Visually shot in the Warhol style yet not a Warhol film at all,
this contrastingly pastoral and un-neurotic work reveals
the stylistic dialogue between these two key avant-garde
filmmakers. A classic composition, like a group photograph that moves with minute details and gestures.

SELECTED FILMS BY ANARCHIST DOCUMENTARIAN
AND FILMMAKER CRAIG BALDWIN WHOSE WORK
INSPIRES WE REBELS WHO DARE TO SPEAK OUT
AGAINST THE CAPITALIST GLOBALIZATION MONSTROSITY THAT IS THE SECOND ROMAN EMPIRE
IE. THE AMERICAN EMPIRE. HIS FILMS ARE LIKE
OTHER-WORLDLY CONTRAPTIONS HELD IN MONTAGE-HAPPY HANDS DESIGNED BY AN ALTOGETHER
APOCALYPTIC MIND.
Those fucking cunts are at it again! The censorship crisis in
Australia continues with major infractions in the world of
film festivals. The first, MIFF and the NSW SIFF have
found out that due to a ruling by the OFLC they cannot
play the new Larry Clark masterpiece “Ken Park” at their
respective established festivals. “Ken Park” is now banned.
MUFF stands united in solidarity with our older siblings
in this fight to the death for freedom of speech and
expression in this country. The second, comes from the
Customs thought police out at Tullamarine who went
through MUFF mail and seized five tapes they deemed
to be offensive due to the drummed up accusations of
sexual violence and a law dating back to 1956. These
tapes contained S&M scenes including spanking and light
bondage and have been grabbed by these Nazi fucks out
at Customs. We appealed to the OFLC to reverse this
decision and in keeping with the conservative tone of their
recent thinking have ruled our appeal for permission to
import - denied. We are looking to appeal this decision
based on bias towards persons with sadomasochistic
sexuality plus other issues and will take this fight as high
as it goes (and as far as we can take it!). The fact that in
Australia we have no right to freedom of speech is a
travesty. In these post Sept 11 times filled with the
hysteric fear of terrorism and racism towards Arab and
Islamic peoples we must ensure the right of all to express
their opinions both politically and sexually. MUFF will
not take this offence laying down!!

SPECTRES OF THE SPECTRUM
Dir: Craig Baldwin|1999|USA|93 min|VHS
Baldwin depicts the history of the ‘invisible wars’ using
found footage. A fantasy sci-fi narrative drawn from
live-action, archival film, broadcast video and ‘exploded’
interviews. An allegory of a potential “New Electromagnetic Order” that threatens to take control of our lives.
Screening: Loop, Monday 7th July 9pm
SONIC OUTLAWS
Sonic Outlaws is a fragmented, gleefully anarchic
documentary, that explores Baldwin’s interest in culturejamming and recontextualisation. Key is the incident of
Negativland vs U2, and the legal nightmare that ensued
from a prank bootleg guerrilla recording.
TRIBULATION 99:
ALIEN ANOMALIES UNDER AMERICA
Tribulation 99 is both a skewed history of United States
intervention in Latin America and a satire on conspiracy
thinking. With images from newsreels, Mexican horror
flicks, and beyond, the sci-fi plot suggests that political
unrest can be blamed on space aliens living under U.S.
atomic test sites.
Clockwise: Spectres of the Spectrum|Sonic Outlaws|Tribulation 99
We are planning a media protest outside the customs office
at 2-6 Sperry Dve (inside Business Park), Tullamarine
Melways Ref. 5, G 11 on Wednesday 9th July at 2pm.
We intend to hold a “Spank In” where peoples of S&M
sexuality, who are tired of having their mail opened and
censored by these bureaucratic stooges, will recreate the
contents of these videos on the customs doorstep, no less!
These actions will be performed for the public, media
and press to witness and will feature international fetish
guest Laurence Gartel and others fighting with us and
reporting overseas on this sorry status quo.
PS>We have also heard from a group who intend to
flaunt this censorship law and play both “Ken Park” and
these fetish tapes, who another collector already has in
country, during the same time as our festival. Check our
website: www.muff.com.au, subsection Censorship 2003,
a week before fest for details and fight the mother-fucking
power. An investigative journailist should also examine
why adult films are effectively banned in Syd and Melb
but on sale everywhere at all adult shops, corruption
and hypocrisy!! They should be simply legal everywhere,

THE PINOCHET CASE
Dirs: Suki Hawley, Michael Galinsky|2002|USA|
60 min|DVD
Horns and Halos captures the unlikely connection of
three men – a U.S. president, a discredited author and
an underground publisher – whose paths to power and
popularity become tangled in a book. In October 1999,
a short article appeared in the New York Times: St.
Martin’s Press recalled Fortunate Son, the first published
biography of George W. Bush. At the time of its recall,
the book was #8 on Amazon.com’s best-seller list – no
doubt due to the book’s widely publicised allegations
that Bush had been arrested for cocaine possession in
1972. However, Bush wasn’t the only one with a hidden past. Citing distrust of the author, J. H. Hatfield, the
publisher pulled the book from stores after learning that
he was a convicted felon. Several weeks later, small underground imprint Soft Skull Press, the self-styled “punk
of publishing,” announced that it would re-publish the
book. But getting Fortunate Son back on the shelves
wouldn’t prove so easy.
Dir: Patricio Guzman|2001|France/Chile|109 min|VHS
This documentary begins at an excavation site that
uncovered some of the bodies of Chile’s “disappeared”-that is, the political prisoners who had been abducted,
tortured, and often killed by a government that denied
the prisoners even existed--and the archeological dig
serves as an apt metaphor for the film itself. Indeed,
as the legal activists and torture victims featured in
the film make clear, the Spanish government’s nearly
successful efforts to bring the former dictator to trial
served as a means of forcing Chile, and the larger world,
to acknowledge the crimes against humanity that were
committed in the name of the war against communism. Patricio Guzmán’s skillful documentary offers the
cinematic equivalent of an amicus brief. Powerful and
affecting cinema.

Dir: Dietmar Post|2002|Germany/USA/Spain|90 min |DVD
Reverend Billy, a.k.a. Bill Talen, is an actor/performance
artist and a leading figure within the anti-globalization movement. His work combines the ideas of social
and political change with the means of theater arts to
counteract our media-laden culture. The film follows
the Reverend’s “shopping interventions/actions” into
cultural dead zones such as Starbucks, Disney and the
New York University construction site at Poe House. He
calls it stepping into somebody’s imagined box. The
police call it illegal trespassing. The Reverend claims
that social change always begins with civil disobedience
and quotes as his heroes the civil rights, peace and
labor movements.

about “homos,” Al Gore learns how to avoid abortion
questions, George Bush talks to Larry King about halcyon -- all presuming they’re off camera. Composed of

David Irving
This year at MUFF we present a selection of documentaries presenting the opinions of historical
revisionists and some other speakers on post WW2 Japan and the Palestinian question. Taking
David Irving as our starting point we present an address from 1993 to Australians that had to go
to the censors to be rated before being allowed to be screened after some tried to ban it. To those
unfamiliar with David Irving’s work, he was a well respected historian and author of the book “The
Destruction of Dresden” that brought attention to allied war crimes in WW2 for the first time and
many other histories and biographies of Hitler, Churchill, Goebells and Hess. Irving had a knack to
present a sympathetic insiders history of Nazi Germany that often portrayed Hitler as a moderate
figure who was let down by the excesses of those under him, particularly Boorman, Himmler and
Heydrich. He received much controversy when he claimed that the gas chambers at Auschwitz
were a fiction and merely allied propaganda. He has been called a holocaust revisionist for his
doubts about gas chambers and his views of Hitler’s responsibility for the documented genocidal
actions, amongst other issues. He has been banned from visiting Australia for these beliefs. We at
MUFF don’t believe you should be silenced for being a historian and object to this legal intrusion
into a debate that belongs in the History department of Universities. Surely Irving’s opinions could
be enlightening even if he is misguided or wrong and subject to at least fruitful debate (Hegel’s
dialectic method) and not censorship!! Many scholars praised Irving before the controversy hit in
the late 80’s for his detailed research (ie. Hugh Trevor Roper and others) and his exclusive early
access to Russian archives. The father of history Herodotus was notoriously biased, as was Sallust
and many other classical historians, if we are to burn the books of biased historians…well the
metaphor is clear enough. Irving is passionate and argues his case lucidly and has agreed to collaborate on a LIVE phone interview after the screening. We at MUFF don’t agree with his opinions,
more the right for him to hold them and have them. If you don’t protect unpopular speech what
kind of freedom of speech do we hope to protect, exactly? See what these people have to say, talk
about it and be glad you still have the right to hear them say it.

MY REVISIONIST METHOD SEMINAR
WITH ROBERT FAURRISON|67 min
From the Thirteenth IHR Conference 2000. The man
who made revisionism a household word in his native
France goes back to his own revisionist beginnings, and
then to the frontiers of revisionism today, in this lecture.
Professor Faurisson recounts how his youthful studies in
Greek and Latin, followed by his celebrated deciphering of the meaning of such difficult modern poets as
Rimbaud and Lautréaumont, guided him to his revisionist method: simple, “nuts and bolts,” free of pedantry,
going to the centre of things.
Screening: Bug house Omniplex, Thursday 10th July 8pm
Joseph Sobran, syndicated columnist and author, is a
lucid speaker in this banquet address. In this witty and
effective critique of the U.S.-Israel “special relationship,”
he deftly dissects the Israeli state’s familiar pretensions,
and details how the holocaust story is used to justify
support for Israel. Said Arikat, a seasoned writer and
commentator who has often appeared on American
television, gives an interesting and insightful Palestinian
perspective on the seemingly intractable Israel-Palestine
conflict. Taking aim at the hypocrisy of U.S. policy in the
Middle East, he says that U.S. support for Israel’s brutal
oppression of Palestinians is a betrayal of the ideals that
Americans claim to uphold.
THE INFLUENCE OF AMERICA’S POSTWAR

PUNISHMENT PARK
Dir: Peter Watkins|1970|USA|90 min|SP BETA
Peter Watkins made this controversial and ahead of it’s
time political film at the height of the powder keg
tensions of the late 60’s/early 70’s. The film details a
world of rabid political control and boiling tensions
between liberal minded individuals and the right wing
all encompassing government. (Sound familiar?)
“Punishment Park” is kind of like a grand version of
“The Most Dangerous Game”, where the prisoners are
set free in a vast desert landscape and given instructions
to “find the flag”. If they find the American flag at the
end of the huge course, they are given their freedom.
The catch is that they are pursued by armed military
soldiers who have instructions to shoot to kill. The film
is shot in a pseudo-documentary style and it seems as if
there are moments of reality bleeding through the
narrative. A film that could scarcely be more timely.

LOW-FI VIDEO. INTERNATIONAL SELECTION
Dir: Various|1999-2002|Belgrade|60 min|VHS
A phenomenon in nineties Serbian unofficial culture, the
LOW-FI VIDEO movement invites diagnosis, presents
therapy, but evades typological classification. The selection,
presented by Khadija Z Carroll in anticipation of an
exhibition at Pod Gallery in 2004, is a characteristic
bricollage, reflecting the society in lack of the firm values,
but bursting with wonders. Inspired by short forms in media
(TV clips, music videos), that appeal to the modern
consumer’s impatience (30 sec. concentration span) by
using shock (violence, sex), low-fi short forms base their
effect on sharp points, situation and language humor,
rather than anecdotal narrative structure. Trash became
one style low-fi authors were interested in, because it
was an effective way to subvert the prevailingly false
media iconography. The video boom enabled widespread
recording of everyday life, making it the most democratic
form. In a country bursting with traumatic wars and survival
struggles, LOW-FI VIDEO is a precious archive and
insight to the soul panorama of Serbian society during
and after the collapse of former Yugoslavia.

With Barbie dolls as the principal actors, “Superstar”

Carpenter filed an injunction that kept “Superstar” from

film would probably have been stopped by the notoriously
litigious Mattel, the makers of Barbie.

switching the dolls’ voice boxes. The dolls were then
placed back on the store shelves in a process of reverse
shoplifting—“shopgiving.” In the format of a nightly

the activities of the Barbie Liberation Organization,
including the “corrective surgery” procedure and the
“shopgiving” actions.The tape functions as witness and

PIGPEN (PORCILE)
Dir: Pier Paulo Pasolini|1969|Italy|99 min|16mm
Originally conceived as a short feature (about a nazi in
love with a pig!) to screen in company of Bunuel’s Simon of the Desert, Pasolini added a second story (about
a medieval cannibal cult!) - then brutally montaged the
2 stories together to create a feature in its own right.
Lord help me: what a feature! Humour is deeply in the
jet-black vein of Bunuel, but Pasolini employs a shipload of formal devices which turn this film into a savage
parody of French new wave cinema. Pasolini at his best
is a ruthlessly intelligent director, and this is among his
most playfully ridiculous films - a very fucking sharp
satire of terminal capitalism… Among the cast: Pierre

and the introduction of Television into this community.

What starts out as a simple investigative piece on the
manufacturing of consent from the military to civilians
turns into a horrific expose of lies and deception. Propaganda is the main tool and truth is sacrificed. Watch
in disbelief as nuclear war heads are wheeled into
shopping malls for display and recruitment purposes,
families are entertained by the art of killing as soldiers
go through step by step methods of murder and finally
see CBS implode on itself as it uncovers the fabrication staging of war footage by it’s own organisation.
This episode also contains a montage of Television and
feature films that have been constructed primarily as
propaganda by the Pentagon to demonise Communism

and something that’ll make you spew! This sidebar is
just an excuse to use the supremely enigmatic moniker
Five Fingers Of Death (say it again, sloowwwly...), one
of the coolest film titles of all time (right up there with
BLAST OF SILENCE), in some constructive way. But
hey, these films do readily hang together. In fact, consider FIVE FINGERS OF DEATH a veritable miniature
sick flick convention.
SLASHERS
Dir: Maurice Deveraux|2002|Canada|98 min|DVD
Six young Americans debut on “Slashers” the Japanese
gameshow that plays for keeps. While most contestants get a body bag, the winner, if there is one, can
walk away with $1M. Replete with poppy dance theme
song and three try-on creatures of fear, Slashers is like
Wheel of Ultimate Misfortune. A parody of a Japanese
gameshow mated with a slasher film. Thrown together
and executed very quickly by the maker of “Lady in the
Lake”. Successfully released on DVD in the States by
Fangoria Presents.
DUCK! THE CARBINE HIGH MASSACRE
Dir: Joey Smack & William Hellfire|1999|USA|90min
Carbine High is a war zone as we join the frontline
and travel into the minds of the perpetrators. Even
while their barrels were still smoking the disaster at
Columbine was a movie waiting to happen and “Duck!”
is that movie. Made by fetish filmmakers Factory2000
“Duck!” has already earned them fifteen minutes of
fame care of CNN when they were busted while carrying
firearms onto their high school location. Cheap, nasty
and hilarious.
REFLECTIONS OF EVIL
Dir: Damon Packard|2002|USA|124 min|DVD
Angst ridden stroll through the deteriorating mind of an
obese Hollywood street seller who trades in five dollar
watches. Includes fantastic scene of paranoia-realised
amidst a pack of (well presented) dogs, extreme cake
eating, the world’s greatest vomit scene, and hilarious
footage of really stolen scenes from a fun park. Sometimes psychedelic, mainly creepy. All-round filmmaker
Damon Packard is also the star.
Packard put it together on an inheritance and sent
out 35,000 DVD copies (of which MUFF’s is one)
across the planet. Check out some of the reactions at:
reflectionsofevil.com. A must-see in any media.
KILLBILLIES
Dir: Duke Hendrix|2002|Australia|80 min
Two male and masked hillbilly families go at each other
over a long running feud. Contains gratuitous coprophilia, come-on references to cock cooties, violence,
gore and heaps of cheesy dialogue shot under minimal
light. Knocked back from MUFF 2002 “Killbillies” is a
deranged, ultra-no budget, projectile vomit of a movie
with a great soundtrack (The Atlantics). Sometimes hilarious. But then again, it could be the T.I.S.M reality TV
show they didn’t want you to see... So far, only released
in the UK.
BULLET IN THE ARSE
Dirs: Paul Moder, David Richardson, Robin Brennan
Three contract killers team up and ultimately face off
in a world ruled by the gun and other lethal weaponry.
Ten years in the making “Bullet in the Arse” is like a
spaghetti western crossed with a prime Hong Kong
actioner that’s not afraid to take the piss out of itself.
The rare case of an Australian indie film that’s actually
well-made. All three directors produce and co-star.
Indie stalwart Paul Moder is recognisable as the lead in
“Sensitive New Age Killer.”
SHORT SUPPORT:
You’re gonna hear about Michael and Peter Spierig soon
enough when their awesome feature “Undead” splatters
itself all over Australian cinemas not long after appearing
at this year’s Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane international filmfests. Not bad for a zombie flick from Queensland. And neither are these three little chunkblowers
which spawned it. From Buckets of Blood Productions...
