Cinema Of Transgression




An important essay outlining Zedd's Philosophy on the Cinema of Transgression is the '' Cinema Of Transgression Manifesto '', published pseudonymously in the Underground Film Bulletin ( 1984 - 90 ).

Perhaps the most famous transgressive artist, Richard Kern began making films in New York with actors Nick Zedd and Lung Leg . Some of them were videos for artists like the Butthole Surfers and Sonic Youth .


PRECURSORS

The Cinema of Transgression shares a legacy with underground film-makers Jack Smith , Andy Warhol , John Waters and Kenneth Anger . It evolved directly out of the New Cinema or No Wave Film movement, which was related to, and the cinematic extension of, the then thriving New York Punk and No Wave musical movements. In fact, often, although by no means exclusively, musicians of the period including; Arto Lindsay , Pat Place , Klaus Nomi , and Lydia Lunch acted in these films.
