Screening of the patchwork film Pink Ulysses by director Eric de Kuyper, presented by the SunGays film series at We Luv Video.
We Luv Video screens Pink Ulysses on Sunday, August 23, as part of the SunGays queer cinema series. The film is a patchwork work by director Eric de Kuyper, described as "the Pink Narcissus of the nineties" — horny for hunks rather than twinks and campy in a post-camp world, with sweeping sets and charmingly anachronistic costuming.
It's a collage of a movie, stitching together old clips, short asides, and fantasies from various time periods, with pop music videos spliced between de Kuyper's narrative of Ulysses' journey home. One review calls it a gayer alternative to Christopher Nolan's Odyssey. If you're into queer cinema that doesn't play it safe, this is right up that alley.
The screening is at We Luv Video, a volunteer-run, membership-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit and old-school video store with a microcinema in the back. It's dedicated to preserving and sharing essential, weird, and rare physical media, and it keeps rental culture alive while doubling as a cultural center for anyone who loves the art of cinema and television. They call it "the best little microcinema in Texas," and it's exactly the kind of place where a patchwork queer odyssey fits in.
