  • Jay Dreams

    “Jay Dreams” uses Jai Brook’s ironic poetry to bring humanity and humor to sometimes awkward moments in the on-going struggle for LGBT people to self-define, find safe partnerships, and gain acceptance. Catherine Pancake uses improvised documentary footage of Jai Brooks and his partner, Monique Meadows, to present the realities of daily life. Special vignettes shot in colour 16mm highlight more idealized (fantasized?) images. The interplay between fantasy and reality provides a humorous and entertaining backdrop to find human commonalities across race, gender, and sexual orientation.

  • LLOYD ____FEIN MUST DIE

    “LLOYD ____FEIN MUST DIE” is protest porn. Using appropriated imagery from the Internet and Sammy Davis Jr.’s classic signature song ” I’ve Gotta Be Me,” “LLOYD ____FEIN MUST DIE” is a choreographed sexual roundelay about the destructive greed and vanity of a vilified banker. Summoning an orgy of images to relieve anger sexually, the film’s cathartic Freudian release posits a retreat to private joy as a valid response for populations depressed by avaricious powerbrokers in capital economies.
