DAMOM AND HUNTER: DOING IT TOGETHER will have its US premiere at the 2006 CineKink Film Festival, going on October 17-22 at the Anthology Film Archive in New York, NY.
DAMON AND HUNTER: DOING IT TOGETHER will screen on Saturday October 21 at 8:30PM, and director Tony Comstock will be part of a panel with other New York erotic filmmakers Candida Royalle, Joanna Angel, Joe Gallant, and Michael Lucas, and moderated by Audacia Ray, held at 4:30PM that same day.
DAMON AND HUNTER: DOING IT TOGETHER is the third in an ongoing series of documentaries from New York based director Tony Comstock. Comstock’s films explore the real and vital role that sexual pleasure plays in human relationships, depict it graphically, and celebrate its power. In this case, the couple in question are long time lovers Damon DeMarco and Hunter James, and the film centers around an explicit portrayal of Damon and Hunter making love.
In July DAMON AND HUNTER was name Best Documentary at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival in Melbourne Australia, but was subsequently banned by the Australian government from showing at the 2006 QueerDOC Gay and Lesbian Film Festival held this September in Sydney Australia.
Says director Tony Comstock, “I’ve long known that by making a movie like DAMON AND HUNTER I was charting a course toward making films that would ask provocative questions about collision of sex and the moving image, and personal freedom and the boundaries of the legitimate role of the state. But in all honesty, I never expected DAMON AND HUNTER would be the one to bring these issues to the fore. It’s a very tender-hearted film, there’s really nothing “controversial” about it in anyway, save the fact that we actually see what physical love between two men looks like in intimate detail. I can’t think of a better way to get over the disappointment of not having the film screen in Sydney than by having our hometown premiere at CineKink!”
CineKink is an organization that recognizes and encourages the positive depiction of alternative sexuality in film and television, most visibly through its annual film festival, CineKink NYC.
