BUTT FILM SCREENING
OCTOBER 2006
LONDON

To mark the release of the BUTT BOOK, the Taschen publication which celebrated the best of the first five years of BUTT, Tate Modern curator and friend of BUTT Stuart Comer curated an amazing screening featuring films and videos by contributors to the magazine and material inspired by the community it created. The 80 minute program occurred on Saturday, October 7th, 2006 at 7PM. Films shown included an excerpt from Shirley Jackson's Portrait of Jason, William E. Jones' Mansfield 1962, found footage of NYC drag balls and clubs selected by assume vivid astro focus, The Hidden Cameras' Golden Streams music video, General Idea's Shut the Fuck Up (pictured above), an excerpt from David Wojnarowicz's ITSOFOMO, work by regular BUTT photographers Wolfgang Tillmans and Walter Pfeiffer, and a clip from a porn video called Foreskin Forever found in the trash by the editor of BUTT's boyfriend. The same program was shown later that year at MIX NYC, New York's Queer Experimental Film Festival.
