Oddball Films presents Strange
Sinema 69: Strange Sex!, Oddities From the Archives, an evening of offbeat
discoveries and choice rarities from the stacks of Oddball Films’ 50,000 reel
film archive. This installment of Strange
Sinema: Strange Sex! is an eye-popping program of perverse pleasures
featuring films too way-out and weird to be called Sex. It's a carnal cornupcopia of animated sex, alien sex puppets,
kinky drag and steamy smut. Who knows; after this screening
you might have a new concept of what sex is really about. We begin
with a preshow Bra Barrage with (“I Can’t Believe It’s a Bra”), girdle (“The
18 Hour Girdle”) and cosmetics (“Sex Appeal”) commercials and some trailers for
“The Cheerleaders” and the “Naughty Stewardesses” guaranteed to get your blood
pumping and heart racing! Other sexual oddities include the world’s first alien
teen sex ed puppet film Deciso 3003 (1982) where even
puppets (designed by legendary Julie Taymor) feel shamed; VD Attack Plan (Technicolor, 1973), Walt Di$ney Productions' fully animated (and hilarious!) film with some forward thinking approaches on the subject of sexually transmitted
diseases, including promotion of condoms (instead of abstinence) and the fact
that VD can be spread through same sex couplings; in Red Hot Riding Hood (1943) Tex Avery liberates
its storybook characters from their Di$ney-style forest and slaps them in the middle of
swanky Manhattan with Little Red as a red-hot singer-stripper and the Wolf
as a model of lupine lechery; watch Amour
Pour Un Femme (1950) -you’ll never guess which sex is which in this
burlesque surprise!; Sandy Sunrise in The Baby Sitter (1971), raunchy, over-the-top animated smut, featuring a girl and her vegetables-with
music by the Beach Boys!; Black Cap Drag (1969) showcases a
rare look inside swingin’ 60s London draq queen club scene; Ego
(1970), a mesmerizing classic of animated eroticism and desire by Italy’s Bruno Bozzetto with soundscore by ultra-lounge master Franco
Godi; The Story of Menstruation (1945), another classic Walt Di$ney Production produced for American
schools detailing the menstrual cycle.
Rumored to be the first film with the word “vagina” in its screenplay
it’s a dreamy bit of preteen fluff with real facts-sponsored by Kotex. Plus much more including: Big
Babies (1950s) beefcakes in diapers, a super-sexy Jeno's Pizza commercial (1967), The
Excitable Redhead/with Dr. Crackem (B+W, 1948), Pajama Boys' (1971) enema, Wet
Dreams (1973), highlights from the Best
of the NY Erotic Film Festival (1971), the trailer for Black
Mama White Mama (1972) and too much more to mention!

Deciso 3003 (1982)
Peter
Wallach, Eli Wallach’s brother directed this bizarre anti-drug PSA, in the
height of the “Just Say No” ‘80s. Two
couples of double-headed alien teens set out on what they think is just going
to be any other intergalactic trip to the Drive-In (to see Vincent Price in The
Fly) but when one of them thinks it’ll be cool to take some meteor pills and
get handsy with his date, we all learn that being a teenager isn’t easy for
anyone in the galaxy. The puppets were made
by Julie Taymor, director of Across the Universe and Titus, and Eli Wallach
narrates, though neither is credited on the internet movie database. Perhaps, like the teen alien flying home
alone, they too feel the shame.
VD Attack Plan (Technicolor, 1973)
“Yes, it’s true. Walt Di$ney Productions has made a significant
contribution to the war against VD. “VD Attack Plan” – A fully animated Walt
Di$ney 16mm motion picture.” states the brochure accompanying this 16mm
educational film. VD Attack Plan had some forward thinking and enlightening
approaches (not just for Di$ney but everyone else producing this type of film
in 1973) to the subject of sexually transmitted diseases including promotion of
condoms (instead of abstinence) and the fact that VD can be spread through same
sex couplings. This “war against disease
“ film doesn’t miss a beat-even showcasing some of the graphic effects of the
disease in action. In brilliant
Technicolor, just like you’d want it to be.
Red Hot Riding Hood (Color, 1943)
Tex
Avery's sensual adaptation liberates its characters from their Disney-style
forest and slaps them in the middle of swanky Manhattan. Grandma's a
nymphomaniac swinger, and her rustic cottage home a hip penthouse pad. Little
Red has become a red-hot singer-stripper; the Wolf is a model of lupine
lechery; and the forest is supplanted by a big-city nightclub as the enchanted
place of forbidden sexuality. The Wolf tries to pull the old Red Riding Hood
gag in order to meet up with Little Red, but Grandma has other ideas.
Amour Pour Un Femme (B+W, 1950)
This
burlesque-like comedy short reveals a lesbian encounter with another woman in
the nightclub dressing room is less lesbian than it seems!
Sandy Sunrise in The Baby Sitter (Color, 1971)
A
disgusting (and hilarious) bit of home-made smut from the archives, this bizarro
animated adult XXX animation explores the adventures of a babysitter and
vegetables! Produced by Warped Imaginations (A Cum Stained Cartoon) featuring
music from the classic Beach Boys Smiley Smile album!
Black Cap Drag (Color, 1969)
It's
London, 1969 and the world is swingin’ groovy.
At the New Black Cap, two performers steal the show, and reveal
themselves and their stories to the viewer.
Full of heart as well as humor, fun and fabulousness, Black Cap Drag is
a remarkable document of two men who can't wait to get dressed like Barbra and
Marlene.
Ego (Color,
1970)
A
tour-de-force of erotic mayhem! A brilliant animation by Italy’s Bruno Bozzetto
(of the cult favorite Mr. Rossi series)- starts with traditional comic-style
animation until the factory-working family man goes to sleep and unleashes his
subconscious thoughts sending him into a psychedelic battleground of chaos and
erotic desire. Utilizes a number of
animation styles including optical printing and pop art imagery.
Wild
soundtrack by the ultra-lounge master Franco Godi!
The Story of Menstruation (Color, 1945)
A Walt D*sney Production, The Story of Menstruation is an animated
short film produced for American schools detailing the menstrual cycle. Rumored to be the first film with the word
“vagina” in it’s screenplay, this vintage gem is both matter of fact and
dreamily flowery. A large-headed girl takes you through the dos and don’ts of
menses while helpful diagrams guide us all to better understanding. Sponsored
by Kotex!
