You know this picture but you have no idea where it’s been taken from? Then I can help you out: It’s a still of a short movie called “The fall of communism as seen in gay pornography” by William E. Jones from 1988. Jones is an artist and filmmaker who grew up in Ohio and now lives in L.A., teaching film history at the Art Center College of Design. His work  is regularly shown in experimental, video, or gay and lesbian film festivals as well as at important art spaces such as the Venice Biennale, the Tate Modern, the Cinématheque Française and others. The reason why I tell you this is because from this Friday on Jones’ complete film work will be shown at New York City’s Anthology Film Archives in a retrospective co-sponsored by MIX NYC, and by the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality at NYU. If you’re from New York you find more information about this retrospective on the AFA website and on buttmagazine.com, my source for this post. To all others I recommend Jones’ pretty extensive website to get an impresson of his stuff.
