Night of a Thousand Fringes (Or at Least Two)
A couple of interesting (if twisted) film events taking place around town tonight caught my eye. First off, Symphony Space is unspooling four short works by underground filmmaker Cameron Jamie, a program spotlighting topics from backyard wrestling (BB) to haunted houses in Detroit (Spook House) to Joan of Arc (Jo). Which would be great on their own, but will be made truly superior with live soundtracks performed by skronk-rockers Keiji Haino and The Melvins (right). The evening is presented as part of the Whitney Bienniel, as if such pioneering names do not make that association essentially irrelevant.
Meanwhile at BAM--in the other NYC cinema venue named after Peter Jay Sharp--get your art-smut fill with the Sundance alum Destricted. You know the one: Matthew Barney directs a guy fucking a truck; Larry Clark directs a guy fucking a porn star; Sam Taylor-Wood directs a guy fucking himself, so on and so forth. Other work by Gaspar Noé, Marina Abramovich and Richard Prince features more fucking, but because it is BAM, you can sit in front of strangers and not worry about what might land in your hair. Hell--you might as well take a date.
