La Pequeña Muerte
Pedro Lavin, Mexico 2023, 7’ (Spanish/e)
In this visual poem set in contemporary Mexico, two lovers share an afternoon of passion as an ancient deity from their dreams performs an orgiastic dance that mirrors their ecstasy.The spirit visitor, known only as the Little Death, leads the couple on an oneiric journey of transformation and rapture. Heralded by strange, symbolic visions the trio come to an ecstatic climax; as the walls between reality and fantasy collapse. Like orgasm itself, the spirit’s ritual ends where it began in an infinite cycle of love, life and death. Told through magical realism and Mexican mythology, the film represents a homecoming for filmmaker Pedro Lavín who, with La Pequeña Muerte, returns to his roots to tell a story that is uniquely queer, and singularly Mexican.

BunnyXGator
Shoog McDaniel, Ian Clotz, USA 2023, 9’ (English)
At first meeting, Evie Snax aka Bunny knew there was something special about Swamp Daddy, but it was years later when they saw eye-to-eye. Soon after finally sniffing each other out, they organically became Gator and bunny. Gator’s bossy power a perfect compliment to bunny’s willing receptiveness, fantasy role play became the drug of choice. We watched in awe as our sex opened up portals, drawing us into a twisted tale of carnal lust between two animals in a Florida swamp. Together we indulge in our magical alternative world, captured here by videographer Ian Clontz wearing our own papier-mâché costuming. Furry primal play gave us a window through which to explore Dominant/submissive play by giving into desire freely and without judgment. Running feral and feeling limitless, we fuck in the dirt and under the stars.
