| punkvert films? |
With a background in VJing and visual installation punkvert made their first narrative film piece 'One Useless Prick' back 2003. The idea had been with funkcutter for some time, but the invitation to submit work to the Women VJs special at a VJ Culture event hosted by Oli Sorenson gave punkvert the necessary target to 'get her done'. With Adobe Premiere firmly ensconsed on the hard drive punkvert went to work furiously only to find that hard drives seem to melt in July as the 8th August deadline approached. Luckily the old analogue skills honed from many years in squat parties came into use and the piece was eventually extracted onto a VHS tape and handed to Oli. The screening in the ICA was a rare old evening although the prospect of answering questions about the 'meaning' of the film baffled punkvert who were mostly white knuckled trying not to snigger. Particularly during the parts where most of the men in the audience made a sharp intake of breath as a penis was ground into a lemon squeezer. |
