Buck Angel Dance Movie Screens at Outfest

LOS ANGELES — Last night, “Schwarzwald: The Black Party” starring transsexual performer Buck Angel, was screened at the 25th annual Outfest, Los Angeles’ GLBT film festival.

The movie was created for the 2006 Black Party, a premier queer fetish dance event held annually in New York City.

The pagan-themed multimedia presentation was produced by The Saint at Large, a gay event promoter that hosts the Black Party. The video had scenes of characters dressed in anthropomorphic animal costumes as they revel in Druidic rites in a “black” forest location.

Angel’s character goes through a transformative journey, climaxed by explicit scenes of footage from the Black Party. Scored with a throbbing house mix, the video is billed as a “movie you can dance to.”

The event was the first-ever screening held in a nightclub venue for the 2007 Outfest, at The Echo at 1822 W Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles.

Last night’s show was presented on multiple screens and featured a live performance by Angel. The late-night event was packed with festival attendees.

After winning AVN’s 2007 Transsexual Performer of the Year Award, Angel has traveled almost nonstop for work engagements and appearances at various queer/gay events, including stops in Japan, the U.K., and Spain, and throughout the U.S.

Outfest, started in 1982, is Los Angeles’ longest continuously running film festival. This year’s festival included 235 films and videos from 26 countries, presented in 9 venues from July 12-23. The festival includes various seminars, panel discussions, parties and galas over 12 days.

Aside from the “Schwarzwald” screening, other festival special events included a showing of 1986’s historic gay film “Parting Glances,” featuring actor Steve Buschemi in his first screen role and directed by Bill Sherwood.

The film chronicles the story of a gay couple during the Reagan era and is credited as one of the first GLBT films to deal with the subject of the HIV/AIDS crisis. “Parting Glances” also is the first feature film restoration for the Outfest Legacy Project, which seeks to preserve significant GLBT films.

The festival also presented a retrospective evening of the short works of innovative lesbian director Barbara Hammer, including “Dyketatics x 2,” “Multiple Orgasms” and “Nitrate Kisses.”
