Wet Dreams
Festival: Monday
25 May, Monday 1 June
This isn't a TNT!MEN event. Instead, it's a film festival hosted by
Reg Hartt at Cineforum, his private little movie theatre. He's showing
three sexy films. Admission is regularly $15, but he says it's only $5
if you watch them naked. I called and asked if he meant it, and he said
"Why not? I first did nude screenings in Toronto back in the 1970s
at Rochdale." Here's the schedule:
7 pm: The History of the Blue Movie. "A documentary covering
1915 to 1971, with some incredible footage."
9 pm: Bijou, directed by Wakefield Poole. A gay porn classic.
"For those who like giving as good as they get, Bijou is the
ultimate head picture. It was use for study by Columbia University Psychiatric
Depertment and as Aspen by critic Brnden Gil to illustrate his lecture,
"Life Enhancing Qualities of The Blue Movie". Poole designed
it to be attractive to heterosexual males. 'After seeing Pool's masterpiece
of masterpieces, Bijou, I wanted to suck cock,' said the very straight
publisher of Screw Magazine Al Goldstein. Women's Wear Daily
saw it as 'more artisitc, more engrossing than most erotica around.' Bring
along that straight fella you have been dreaming about."
10:30 pm: Illusions of a Lady. "Winnipeg's Jonas Middleton
did this supercharged erotic psychodrama about a group of people in a sex
therapy session. Adrea True is the doctor. She's as mad as they come. (Wait
till you see her make salad dressing.) May be too intesnse for some. Playboy
called this the Rolls Royce of the genre. Great use of colour and music."
Cineforum, 463 Bathurst below College.
Reservations suggested: (416) 603-6643. Bring food and drink.
