CONTENT WARNING:

Two HIV-positive young men—a semi-employed film critic and a hot hustler—tear off on a cross-country crime spree.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

"The Living End has more action than the A-Team. Two fatalistic L.A. boys discover they are both HIV Positive and set about on an unhinged serio-comic spree of violence and abandon. 'It's like a Hope/Crosby movie," explains director Araki, "in which Crosby fucks Hope." - Sixth London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival

Jeffrey Friedman & Rob Epstein

When two gay filmmakers, Academy Award winners Rob Epstein (Common Threads, The Times of Harvey Milk) and Jeffrey Friedman set out by van on a journey into the heart of the heartland of America, they create a sort of gay Charles Kurwalt TV segment that is a telling and affecting testament to how 'outside' homosexuals still are viewed in America today. For those of us who live in the Back Bay or Beacon Hill, vacation in P-town and brunch in the South End, this is a reminder that to most of the United States we are aliens from "another country." - 1992 Sundance Film Festival Selection

Accomplished documentarians Rob Epstein and Jeff Friedman take a trip across the American South and Southwest, asking people about their hopes and fears.

No Mona Lisa smiles here: performance artists Diamanda Galas, Holly Hughes, Robbie McCauley, Rachel Rosenthal, Lenora Champagne, Ellie Covan, Laurie Anderson, Pat Oleszko, Jeannie Hutchins, Carolee Schneemann, Diane Torr, Martha Wilson, Annie Sprinkle and many, many more spill their guts about what outrages and delights them including sexuality, racism, censorship, homophobia, AIDS, power politics and the future of the planet.

Since its inception, performance art provided a forum for those artists whose work challenges the dominant aesthetic and cultural status quo. In “Sphinxes Without Secrets”, performers, curators and critics unravel the mysteries of performance art and ponder the world women confront today.
