Wer meine Filme sorgfältig betrachtet findet darin die Geschichte meines Lebens. Yoram Gross // Erstmals liegt die Autobiografie von Yoram Gross in deutscher Übersetzung vor. Der 1926 in Krakau geborene spätere Animationsfilmregisseur erlebte den Schrecken des Naziregimes in früher Kindheit und Jugend - nur mit viel Glück und Überlebenswillen entging er unzählige Male der Inhaftierung, in den Fünfzigerjahren legte er mit experimentellen Kurzfilmen als einer der ersten Zeugnis von seinen Erinnerungen ab. 1944 stand er kurzzeitig auf der Liste Oskar Schindlers, schaffte die Flucht vor dem sicheren Tod gemeinsam mit seiner Familie über den Umweg von mehr als siebzig verschiedenen Verstecken. Mein Animiertes Leben ist ein bewegendes und zutiefst humanistisches Buch gegen das Vergessen. // Yoram Gross' quirliges Buch macht all den Elan der Jugend deutlich, wie auch die Gefahren, die ein junger jüdischer Mann auf der Flucht während des Zweiten Weltkriegs auf sich nehmen musste. Es ist ein Zeugnis seines Lebenswillens und seiner Talente, dass er es schaffte zu überleben. Sie werden in diese Lektüre versinken. Thomas Keneally (Romanautor & Historiker, Schindlers Liste)
Der vorliegende Band versammelt das Komplettwerk der beiden Himmelhunde Oliver Nöding und Marcos Ewert, die der deutschen Filmkritik vor einigen Jahren einen Fixstern hinterlassen haben, bevor sich die Wege der beiden Ninjas trennten. Geblieben ist eine nie dagewesene Liebeserklärung an das - vornehmlich US-amerikanische - Actionkino der Achtzigerjahre, eine revisionistische Neuerschließung eines oftmals verpönten Genres. Mit der clever gewählten dialogischen Form vermeiden es beide Schreiber, akademisches oder affektives Rezeptionsverhalten die Oberhand gewinnen zu lassen - auch international bis heute konkurrenzlos. Mit je einem sehr persönlichen Vorwort beider Himmelhunde und einem kontextualisierenden Nachwort des Herausgebers versehen, illustriert mit internationalen Kinoplakaten, VHS- und DVD-Artworks.
The films of Jack Deveau and his production company Hand In Hand once were praised both by audience and critics as the perfect symbiosis of legit feature films, underground avant-garde and explicit all-male adult movies. During the Golden Age of Porn, Hand In Hand was an essential and acclaimed part of the New York art circles and its Independent film scene. The early death of Jack Deveau, the AIDS-crisis and the video revolution changed the porn film industry forever. All this happened at the same time and within a couple of years the Hand In Hand heritage - which should be recognized today as an important chapter of the upcoming queer film movement - was almost forgotten. This book bundles very personal interviews with most of the remaining people that worked as cast and crew members on the films of Hand In Hand, or somehow have been part of the circle around Jack Deveau. GOOD HOT STUFF tells the story of Hand In Hand in fragments, carefully put together from many - totally different - perspectives and memories. It is a story about a filmmaker who had a vision way ahead of his time and the freedom to develop an individual auteur style within the limitations of the early gay adult film industry. Besides the actual conversations, the reader can also learn about the production process and the history of the films - based on hundreds of images, most of them never published in public before; among them original artworks, company ephemera, behind the scenes footage, private snapshots, and numerous magazine articles.
This interview collection takes us back into the roaring 1980s, when the home video market changed the whole world of film making. For a short time, everything seemed possible, and in a way everything was possible. Shapiro Glickenhaus Entertainment was in the right place at the right time. Although SGE closed its doors in 1995, films like THE EXTERMINATOR, BLACK ROSES, SHAKEDOWN, MOONTRAP, RED SCORPION, NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER II, BASKET CASE II & III, FRANKENHOOKER, MANIAC COP and several others remain cult favorites today. Enlightening interviews with business legends and producers are combined with extended conversations with well-known genre filmmakers. On top of this are the voices of all the key people that marketed and sold the SGE movies to the world, managed the productions, or ran the office during this fast forward period of maverick film making. Neither Jim Glickenhaus nor Leonard Shapiro have ever opened up this much about their fantastic careers in the film industry. Includes a foreword by Charles Band. All Interviewees: Leonard Shapiro, James Glickenhaus, Stephen A. Roberts, Nadia Bruce Rawlings, Lewis Horwitz, Ted Rosenblatt, Sonoko Sakai, John Alexander, William Lustig, Frank K. Isaac, Frank Henenlotter, Kevin Tent, Jefferson Richard, Cynthia Cirile, Andi Elliot, Christian Ingvordsen, Jalal Merhi, Jacqueline Palmiere, Cynthia Rothrock, Joseph Zito, Stephanie Denton, Bob Berney, Marilyn Moore, Robert Chapin
In American pop art, gangster rap, punk rock, and gay filmmaking, there is a Continental Divide between East Coast and West Coast culture typified by New York and California. This esthetic regionalism may be a moot point to today's international viewers of twenty-first-century gay porn which is more "corporate meat loops" than it is the "personal" kind of visionary film narrative made by the pioneer directors. They created gay cinema. They built their box-office fame with their stories and style, and with their superb casting back in the day when the porn stars they discovered were hot guys with real personalities they knew would make audiences hard no matter what coast or country or continent: Jack Wrangler, Casey Donovan, Peter Berlin, and a host of others. No matter the coast or country, Hot is hot. Some things are universal. Essential. Everywhere. Including interviews with J. Brian, Gavin Geoffrey Dillard, Roger Earl, David "Old Reliable" Hurles, Jim West, a guest article by cult filmmaker Toby Ross and numerous pages of pictures and photo art by Mark Hemry, Tom Bianchi, David Pearce, John J. Krause, Tom of Finland, Tom Kellie, and other iconic gay artists.
Be afraid, darling. Be VERY afraid. For the very first time, the collected thoughts about (gay) porn from the one and only Advocate for Fagdom!

This compilation covers the thought-provoking, political, opinionated and cleverly-pointed articles the director has written about pornography. A glorious read - if you aren't afraid of good, old-fashioned obscenity! Includes a conversation between LaBruce and gay porn legend Peter Berlin, numerous essays, articles, stories, and three shooting diaries, for SKIN GANG, THE RASPBERRY REICH and L.A. ZOMBIE. 80 pages of still photography, artworks and Portraits - among them photos by Richard Kern, Raul Hidalgo, Ricardo Gomes, Terry Richardson and others.
