  • Director: John Greyson

CGiii Comment

John Greyson’s videotape from his trip to the 1985 Moscow Youth Festival is, in the best sense, the work of a political and formal agitator: nasty, quirky, witty and sensual, sexually explicit, politically lucid, and wholly dialectical. Narrated as an awkward story told to a curious friend with benefits of his, the memory of visiting Moscow will take a detour into vivid curiosities of underground gay culture, Cold War rumors and hooking up, just as his documentary recordings will take one into a fictitious speculative moment of Alexandra Kollontai giving an interview for television, snippets of an espionage thriller (Ice Station Zebra, 1968) starring Rock Hudson, who back then was dying of AIDS-related causes, and gay porn.


There was a trailer...but, it has since disappeared.
