IT IS NOT THE PORNOGRAPHER THAT IS PERVERSE…

A filmmaker, photographer, writer and above all, an iconoclastic artist who has made his name in the history. Considered one of the creators of the Queercore social and artistic movement which emerged in the 1980s, LaBruce has written and directed nine provocative feature films and twenty short films. His cinematographic work has become an international benchmark for using transgressive narratives that combine the vulgar and the poetic, questioning the limits of taste and our preconceived ideas of politics. Disturbing and politically incorrect, his work has influenced such diverse artists as Harmony Korine, Kurt Cobain or Jeff Koons.
Among the many places that have put on exhibitions of his work is the MoMA in New York, which organised a retrospective in 2015. His work has also been shown for decades in international festivals such as the Berlin International Film Festival where it received the Teddy Award in 2014. Since 1987, this prize has been handed over on the night before the Golden Bear prizewinning ceremony, to movies starring lesbian, gay or transsexual actors. The first Teddy Award went to Almodóvar for his Law of Desire and since then other awards have gone to Derek Jarman, Gus Van Sant, Tomás Gutiérrez Alea, François Ozon, James Franco or Claudia Llosa, among others.
It is not the pornographer that is perverse is an anthology film made up by four short films with interconnected themes and overlapping characters, written and directed by Bruce LaBruce. Two of the short films, Diablo en Madrid (The Devil in Madrid - inspired by Pier Paolo Pasolini’s La Terra vista dalla Luna) and Übermenschen, were filmed in Madrid, and the other two, Purple Army Factionand Fleapit, were filmed in Berlin.
