Nick Zedd
New York filmmaker Nick Zedd is a central figure in the history of underground filmmaking. Focused on breaking sexual taboos and provoking strong reactions against the status quo, Zedd has influenced other filmmakers, such as Richard Kern and Tommy Turner, practice in a "Cinema of Transgression." THE SINEMA OF NICK ZEDD is the first DVD collection of the filmmaker's works, and includes 11 of his films as well as outtakes, interviews, and rare concert footage of Zedd's music project, the noise band Zyklon-B.
This DVD features 11 short films from underground filmmaker and icon Nick Zedd. It includes outtakes, extensive behind-the-scenes footage, interviews and a photo gallery from Zedd's personal archives.
Films include:
- Police State
- The Bogus Man
- Ecstasy In Entropy
- Why Do You Exist
- go To Hell
- Whoregasm
- Kiss Me Goodbye
- Thrust In Me
- War Is Menstrual Envy (excerpt)
- Tom Thumb in the Land of the Giants
- The Wild World of Lydia Lunch
DVD extras offer up good clues as to what the hell this guy is all about. Out-takes, interviews and Zedd on stage in his music persona, show the filmmaker as a serious, witty, charming, well respected man about town - not quite what is expected of the fiendish revolutionary of shock cinema, but a driven artist infatuated with breaking taboos for the sake of breaking taboos. And it's always fun to see actors preparing to be sexy and shocking, when in reality they are trudging through another mundane day on the job.
