ABOUT THE VIDS:
Suckling
D. Deirdre Logue/4min/2005
In semi-darkness, the artist sucks at her fingers. An autoerotic performance of consumption. Sucking explores something of the intimacy of addiction. Suckling is part of Why Always Instead of Just Sometimes, a selection of 12 shorts works about again, breaking down and reparation.
Pine
D. Ali El-Darsa/6min/2009
This film explores the protagonist’s ongoing subconscious experience and his battle with sexual desire.
Good Dyke Porn: Dylan Ryan & Sophia St. James
D. Bren Ryder/11min/
Dylan and Sophia check-in to a hotel and don’t have much time before their dinner reservation. This scene from Vancouver artist Bren Ryder’s Good Dyke Porn series proves there’s always time for dessert before dinner.
Watching Lesbian Porn
D. Dayna McLeod/11min/2001
A pornographic parody advocating the use of Feminism as Lesbian Foreplay especially when dating that feminist who is opposed to pornography. Featuring over-the top performances by Ginger Discovery and Lucky Chopps in the background and McLeod as the feminist interpreter in the foreground.
Star Trek Voyeur
D. Ian Jarvis/7min/2005
The crew of the starship Voyager never expected to find THIS “on screen”. Jam packed with tons of graphic surprises, faggot space porn, and nasty alien encounters, it’s red alert action all the way!
Knee for All
D. Hannah Jickling & Kevin Hegge/4min/2007
Remodelling the seedy-super8-basement porn aesthetic, “Knee for All” displaces the focus on genital-and gender-based-sexuality with universal body parts: the knees.
Being Green
D. Jess Dobkin/4min/2011
A heartfelt and provocative rendition of Kermit the Frog’s “It’s Not Easy Being Green” starring the artist as Kermit while being fisted by a woman in drag in the role of Jim Henson. A for-camera version of a live performance.
Eat Cake
D. John Caffery & Jeremy Laing/3min/2003
The mysteries of milles-feuilles and the pleasures of pastry dolloped with whipped cream shall not come between us, nor shall custard tarts tear us apart. No, we will savour them together. Drizzled in chocolate sauce and jam-filled for eternity, we are brothers of a sweeter tooth.
Wads and Wads
D. John Caffery & Michael Barry/5min/2003
“Wads and Wads” traces the attempt of two young men to have sex through a partition of clear vinyl. Toronto’s craft-couture sewing club The Westside Stitchers helped design the vinyl partition through which the young men play at lovemaking. The action of the film was improvised by the performers and shot and edited entirely in-camera by Robert Kennedy.
ABOUT THE BANDS:
MANCHYNA burst from a Smoky Mountain-womb, just like his personal hero, Dolly Parton. Part burlesque and part faggotronic rap, Man Chyna strip hops around Canada like a sissy M.I.A (Sissy Elliot?)
Won’t you be the Boy-oncé to his Gay-Z? Mo Homo.

KIDS ON TV emerged from the Toronto party Vazaleen in the spring of 2003. John Caffery, Minus Smile and Roxanne Luchak have collaborated with musicians such as Boy George, Man Parrish, Shunda K of Yo Majesty, Julie Faught, Katie Stelmanis of Austra, and Diamond Rings. Throughout its history, the group has made short films and videos that have screened at festivals internationally. In addition, Kids on TV transform environments with live video projections. The party-starting band has played in clubs, warehouses, farms, festivals and bathhouses. Kids on TV have worked in schools as music teachers in collaboration with Mammalian Diving Reflex as well as facilitators at Converge, an annual conference in Toronto dealing with gender and sexuality. Since its inception, the group has toured Canada, the US and Europe, has played over 250 shows, and released music on several labels, most notably Chicks on Speed Records and The Co-operative of Blocks Recording Club. Kids on TV honours local roots planted by General Idea, Fifth Column and Will Munro. Kids on TV is an apocalyptically gay band.
KIDS ON TV’s upcoming new album is called PANTHEON. Combining bouncy house music, old-school hip hop, Liberace piano drama, mutant super-hero roller-disco battles, love songs between closeted 20th-century artists and epic choral arrangements,Pantheon celebrates the historical and fictional figures of Kids on TV’s personal and collective mythologies. It explores inspiring, strange and obscure figures of resistance and sexual revolution. The works liberate and create positive space, and do so by referencing queer history, struggle and culture through music, dance, film, performance and politics.
“Fast-paced mix of electro-pop, garage punk, queer theory and doo-wop harmonies that hits the mark.”
