INTRODUCED BY FILM SCHOLAR TOM GUNNING
This pairing of José Rodríguez-Soltero’s lavish “Lupe” and Ron Rice’s landmark psychedelic masterpiece “Chumlum” features two of the most accomplished uses of superimposition in underground film, transporting drag glamour into a profoundly hallucinatory dimension.
The screening is part of the Fashion in Film Festival, a three-day program of screenings, performances, talks and conversations that explore the intersection between fashion and cinema, curated by Marketa Uhlirova (University of the Arts London - Central Saint Martins) with Caitlin Storrie.
