Beginning with the title song, “It’s a Mod Mod World” by the Gretschmen, “Mondo Mod” explores West Hollywood, California’s famous Sunset Strip in 1966. We journey from discotheques to dirt bike competitions, taking in surfing, karate, go-carting, the Hell’s Angels, political protests, pot parties and all the other trappings of the Now Generation. Along the way, we’re treated to priceless footage of Pandora’s Box, Gazzarri’s, the Whisky A Go-Go, the Fifth Estate, and countless other forgotten haunts of “the neon Neverland that the mod set calls home.” Starring, according to the credits, “The Youth of the World,” “Mondo Mod” features a pot-smoking, bongo-blasting finale during which these hipsters and flipsters start to strip down. Both the film’s cinematographers became world-famous: Laszlo Kovacks for “Easy Rider,” and Vilmos Szigmond for “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”Read More »

Quote:
Cleopatra situates itself in the same relationship to Hollywood as the Warhol/Morrisey films of the
period. It corresponds to Joseph Mankiewicz’s 1963 Cleopatra, starring Elizabeth Taylor and
Richard Burton which Auder’s cast watched and used as the starting point for scene by scene
improvisation Auder drew his cast from Warhol’s ensemble – including not only Viva and Louis
Waldon, but also Taylor Mead, Ondine, Andrea Feldman, Gerard Melanga and others.
The film revels in epic excess like Mankiewicz’s cinematic debacle which succumbed to vast length,
a bloated budget, multiple revisions and a scandal occasioned by the extramarital escapades of its
co-stars.Read More »

Fear of Blushing bursts forth with irrepressible hand-painted color, corroded emulsion and a menacing soundscape of looped voices, distorted instrumentals, samples & rhythm. Fleeting visions and voices erupt out of the ominous abstraction in unusual juxtapositions, suggesting a cinematic free-association marked by anxiety, pleasure and shame. Best appreciated in the immediate; the 7200 painted frames fly by at an average of 12 per second.Read More »
