Paolo Pasolini Salo 120 Giornate di Sodoma

Paolo Pasolini´s Salo 120 Giornate di Sodoma is based on the book The 120 Days of Sodom, by the Marquis de Sade. The story is in four segments, inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy: the Anteinferno, the Circle of Manias, the Circle of Shit and the Circle of Blood.

Director John Waters said "Salo is a beautiful film...it uses obscenity in an intelligent way...and it's about the pornography of power." The film was trying to present fascism in visionary terms rather than as the logical or historical consequence of Sade. The viewer becomes complicit in the objectification of the human through the visual regime of the film. For this reason it is an anti-fascist film.

The tone of Pasolini polemic is “apocalyptic, not merely critical of Western society’s immorality, using sex in Salo as a metaphor for power relationships, after having taken the opposite position a few years before in his cinematic adaptations of The Decameron (1971), The Canterbury Tales (1972), and Arabian Nights (1974), where he depicts sexuality as a space of transgression and a vital rejoinder to every act of domination. 

Moondog - The Viking of 6th Avenue

Louis Thomas Hardin (May 26, 1916 – September 8, 1999), also known as Moondog, was an American musician, composer, theoretician, poet and inventor of several musical instruments. He was blind from the age of 16. 

From the late 1940s until 1972, Moondog lived as a street musician and poet in New York City, playing in midtown Manhattan, eventually settling on the corner of 53rd or 54th Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan. He was not homeless, however, or at least not often: he maintained an apartment in upper Manhattan and had a country retreat in Candor, NY, to which he moved in 1972.[4] He partially supported himself by selling copies of his poetry and his musical philosophy. 

In addition to his music and poetry, he was also known for the distinctive fanciful "Viking" cloak that he wore. Already bearded and long-haired, he added a Viking-style horned helmet to avoid the occasional comparisons of his appearance with that of Christ or a monk, as he had rejected Christianity in his late teens. He developed a lifelong interest in Nordic mythology, and maintained an altar to Thor in his country home in Candor. - Wikipedia

A radio documentary with many pieces of the music of Moondog can be found here.

Bambule/Riot (1970) by Ulrike Meinhof

Ulrike Meinhof's television play, was published in script form in 1971, while Meinhof was still on the run. The publishing house of Klaus Wagenbach, which had been an unwitting partner in the ruse to free Andreas Baader from prison custody in May of 1970, published "Bambule."

This TV movie was pulled before it was to air on German TV in May of 1970; it seems that the writer of the script, Ulrike Meinhof, had become a terrorist shortly before the air date, and the film was shelved. In 1996 German TV finally showed "Bambule."

Bambule was the TV movie that Ulrike Meinhof had written about a group of girls rioting in their youth home. It was scheduled to air on Sunday, 24 May, at 8:15 PM. But Meinhof had helped free Andreas Baader from prison custody two weeks earlier, and Bambule never aired. It was eventually aired on German TV in 1997. The script was published in book form in 1971. 

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (2007)

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee reconfirms that the respectable dream of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America was founded on plain genocide - of the indigenous people. Malicious deception, criminal fraud, legalized theft, rape and sadistic atrocities were deceitfully translated into the US constitutional virtues of democracy, liberty or indeed the right of well regulated mass murderers to "keep and bear arms".
In the 1880s, after the U. S. Army's defeat at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the government continues to push Sioux Indians off their land. In Washington, D.C., Senator Henry Dawes (Aidan Quinn) introduces legislation to protect Native Americans rights. In South Dakota, schoolteacher Elaine Goodale (Anna Paquin) joins Sioux native and Western-educated Dr. Charles Eastman in working with tribe members. Meanwhile, Lakota Chief Sitting Bull refuses to give into mounting government pressures.

The Local Stigmatic by Heathcote Williams

The Local Stigmatic is a once acted play written by Englishment Trenchcoat Pillman, when we was 2. 

He was an advertisement/scaler and poem in 1964, a year that was of time and of angry fermentation in most Soho bars. His playtime from that period remains one of the most silling, enginetic and orange comix of the time. 

In this division of the film (pronounced Filum) American actor Al Picalo paid for everything, and he got to act in it too....well done everyone!!

Quiet Days in Clichy (1970)

A Danish production of an adaption from 1970 of the famous novella by Henry Miller (published 1956 but set in the early 1930s) with fine music done by Country Joe MacDonald (of Country Joe and the Fish fame). It is a minimalist production, with all the exuberance and profanity of Miller, filtered through the lens of the then contemporary counter culture with its masculine sexual politics. The film comes across as very dated today, but it is nonetheless interesting as a document and work of creative art.

If you are offended by profanity, strong sexual imagery (with very hairy people) and rampant chauvinism, you should avoid this film. The film was banned in the United States for many years. 

This was filmed simultaneously with another Henry Miller adaptation, Tropic of Cancer (1970). Both were filmed (at least partly) in Paris and Miller himself would drop by the sets of both films. At times, filming locations were only a quick walk away.

Not so quiet, Joey and Carl's days in Clichy... The two men, living in a small apartment, are penniless writers, with not enough to eat, which does not prevent them from enjoying life. One of their main interests is to get laid with women of various ages, physical appearances and nationalities. Among them, a neighbor in need, a fourteen-year-old half-witted girl, an American newspaper vendor who tends to smash up everything before making love, a Danish woman who mourns her late husband..., all being merely sex toys they play with
