Queer Cinema x IFFR: The Non-Actor + Pink Narcissus (1971)
About The Non-Actor
Elliot stays with her ex’s new girlfriend while undergoing a medical process related to her recent, unexplained hearing loss. As she begins to rediscover her relationship with both her surroundings and herself, an intimate bond develops between the two women. In a sensitive and affecting way, filmmaker Eliza Barry Callahan captures the painful unlearning of letting go and the tentative embrace of change in this loose adaptation of her own semi-autobiographical novel The Hearing Test, featuring strong performances by Victoria Pedretti and Maya Hawke.
Over Pink Narcissus
This cult classic by James Bidgood is a visualization of the homoerotic fantasies of a young male prostitute. The beautiful young man escapes into honey-sweet fantasies of another beautiful young man—a narcissistic projection of himself.
Over time, Pink Narcissus has come to be recognized as a landmark of queer film history: a defiantly personal work that embraces camp, eroticism, and visual excess as tools of self-expression.
