Comrade! Have you contributed to KINO FIST?



Kino Fist returns in the New Year on Sunday 3rd February with a screening of Slava Tsukerman's magnificent NYC Synthpop-Soviet emigre farrago Liquid Sky (trailer here) with supporting features.

In the usual potlatch/free photocopying manner, there will be a photocopied pamphlet accompanying the screening - and anyone who wants to write texts, make images, contribute photograms etc is cordially invited to do so. The broad theme for this issue is Film and Fashion. Something with an appropriate focus would be nice (i.e, no cult studs stuff about the subversive libidinal charge of Pretty Woman, ta) but is by no means essential. Word counts should be somewhere roughly between 200 and 2000 words, with a deadline of 14th January 2008.

In the unlikely event that contributions are rejected for reasons of space, they will be posted to the Kino Fist site. Those contributors who live overseas or can't make the screening will receive a mailed copy of the magazine. Contributors will have to enjoy their name in photocopied print (and accompanying glory) rather than financial incentives.

Please send all texts and images to infinitethought[at]hotmail.co.uk

The screening will be at 2pm at the E:VENT Gallery, 96 Teesdale Street, London E2 6PU.

Ack. I remember going to see Liquid Sky when it came out and thought the costumes/fashion were TOTALLY wrong. Like an alien's (extraterrestrial or merely Soviet) conception of what was cool. Specifically, there was a character wearing sparkly platforms and I was completely disgusted-- thinking "Glam Rock? That's so 10 years ago!"

I spent a week with Tsukerman's buddy Aleksandr Kosolapov (http://kultur.diefenbach.at/KunstProjekte/anna/Images/bild3.jpg)
in New York and Slava came to dinner once. Slava was a pleasant character, a movie buff, always eager to discuss films.
Together we appreciated Robert Zemeckis's DEATH BECOMES HER, which Kosolapov found crappy. Slava told me I beter lay off filmmaking, because there's no way you can make a living on it unless you're rich and burgeois. (At the time he was washing dishes in between avant garde projects that he could never collect the money to make. )Both Slava and Aleksandr knew Eduard Limonov; Koslapov pretty much believed in the American Dream and found that Limonov was never satisfied, in Russia or in America, so that his socialism was a protracted adolescent temper tantrum.

Hmm, interesting.

Exactly!

Any thought of taking Kino Fist on tour to cinematically deprived areas of the states?

Owen-- re blog: Oh Thank you!
And I should clarify: I live in NYC, so as an NY teenager (at the time) I was indignant that Liquid Sky got NY "cool" all wrong...

It got everything wrong though! No music, even the most peculiar of synthpop has ever sounded like that.

I never leave Europe, so a US tour is very unlikely. Stranger things have happened however.
