1960’s Intermission Time Animation

23 May

Many years ago, I found this great video tape of vintage drive-in movie intermission animations at Kim’s Mondo Video in NYC St.Mark’s Square-the same square in which I witnessed Joey Ramone crossing the street in requisite all black using a classy cane. When I saw this totally psychedelic Peter Max style animation, my lid was officially flipped. I especially love the cow that morphs into a hamburger. The video was released by Something Weird Video http://www.somethingweird.com/index.php

The Devils // Ken Russell, 1971

20 May

Ken Russell’s controversial 1971 film incorporates sexually explicit hallucinatory sequences into this story based on the supposed demonic possessions in that took place in 17th Century Loudon, France.

An order of Ursuline nuns begin to exhibit wild, uncontrolled behavior thought to be led by Urbain Grandier (Oliver Reed), a proud priest, who has recently gained political control of Loudon. Sister Jeanne des Anges (Vanessa Redgrave), the sexually repressed hunchback Mother Superior of the convent becomes infatuated with Grandier, and her striking sexual fantasies haunt her guilty conscious.

Once word of Grandier’s secret marriage to another woman reaches Jeanne, she collapses into fits of hysteria and claims to have been possessed by the Devil through Grandier. Other nuns in the convent also claim to be possessed and the convent explodes into a frenzy of sexual outbursts and bizarre public exorcisms.

Russell boldly depicts the effects of sexual oppression mixed with religious mania. The censored scenes of the “demonic possessions” include a psychedelic orgy of naked nuns “raping” a statue of Christ and Sister Jeanne masturbating with a human bone. The uncut version of The Devils is a mind blowing, audacious exploration of ecstasy (both religious and sexual).

Downtown Dubai New Year’s Eve 2015

18 May

New Year’s Eve 2015 has gone past, but it’s a shame to think that all that money spent on fireworks and glowing city lights was spent on one perishing moment in time, so I’d like to celebrate it again here on the DPV. One of the places which lavished the greatest sum of money on impressive fireworks the following year was Dubai, one of the richest and most awesomely designed cities in the world. Checking out their 2015 fireworks is a treat. Find the full 43 minutes film about the celebrations below.
