Great little 3 minute film by British director Jules Nurrish screened yesterday in the Transtastic selection of shorts about, by, featuring trans persons in Frameline, the San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival.
Transtastic, it was.
Bend It is an art performance homage to Gilbert & George. Breast-bound artists Anat Ben David and Heather Cassils do the "bend it" trans dance atop pedestals. It's the song G&G danced to, in their own way when they began their life as art. It's a tight n sexy dance; they're buff n sexy androgynes. Oh yeah, "show me you're liking it." Bend it any which way you can.
Gilbert & George returned (backwards-like) to bending it and you can see a wonderful drippy dippy video on YouTube.
