Gone: The Box
"Gone is loosely based on an episode of An American Family, a PBS series from the early 1970s that included one of the first openly gay characters on television-and foreshadowed the development and appeal of reality TV. Cecilia Dougherty's project also explores the complexities of family life, queer identity, and community, but inserts contemporary artists and writers (including Amy Sillman and Laurie Weeks) into the narrative. The video includes music by Le Tigre and Mike Iveson and was completed during a residency in the Art & Tech post-production studios in 2001. Dougherty lives and works in New York City and teaches at the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College. (37 mins., video)" (www.wexarts.org)

The Lollipop Generation: Film/Video Theater
""This legendary, unfinished film, fifteen years in the making,... is roughly to Queer Cinema what Orson Welles' The Other Side of Midnight is to, well, Cinema."-Dennis Cooper
The Torontonian G. B. Jones has been called the "matriarch of queercore" for her work in film, music, zines, and art. Since 1992, she has been traveling North America with a Super-8 camera filming footage for The Lollipop Generation, a lost relic of underground cinema finally unearthed. The gritty and sweet DIY fable follows a young runaway girl who meets up with a cast of perverts, hustlers, playground dwellers, and lollipop lovers creating a never-never land of queeruptions. Featuring appearances by a rogues' gallery of gay and indie rock musicians and artists including Vaginal Davis and Calvin Johnson. (70 mins., video)" (www.wexarts.org)
