The Experimentals

92 Minute Running Time

Get your avant-garde on with these outstanding experimental shorts. Get down at a pool party, dip into the human psyche, go on a lesbian cruise, and groove to a musical adaptation of Rainer Maria Rilke’s poem “Lovesong.” Meditate on the routines in the life of a NYC call-boy, get revenge (at least in your dreams), and sip tea with a Stepford-style tea party gone awry. Get your mind blown with awesome animation, meet tattooed teacher and poet Joe Jimenez, tap into your inner guilt, and race through a war-torn city with two lovers. Dive into a kaleidoscope of men, ballerinas and horses in an impromptu corps de ballet and meet one man’s version of Derek Jarman as he recreates the acclaimed artist’s sexual, artistic and political awakening in post-War England.
