Robert Morris's video work will be featured at PURGATORY this weekend, along with Voltaire, Brothers Quay, and other amazing filmmakers.


DAMNED proudly presents a new exhibition of Cinema and Theatre called Purgatory. Held near halfway (6 months) to DAMNED and Devil's Night on May 20-22 2010 at Detroit's Hastings Street Ballroom, Purgatory will present 28 short films deeply introspective, beautifully disturbing and darkly enlightening subject matters from filmmakers local and worldwide.  This is not an industry-focused horror film festival, but a tributary showcase of the often redemptive films from the filmmaker's personal damnations complimented with live experimental performance art on stage during intermissions.

Confirmed special guest filmmakers include: The Brothers Quay, Brian M Viveros, Voltaire, George Higham, Till Nowak, Daniel Askill, Tsubasa, Tomek Baginski, Noam Abta, Yuval Markovich, Robert Morris, Robert Morgan, Bogdan Borkowski, Daniel Zurawski, Patrick Rea, Billie Mintz, Jeffrey Timmins and more...

Michigan special guest filmmakers include Jeff Bloomer, Mike Dereniewski, Robert Joseph Butler, Louis Kerman, Sean Hages, Courtney Spivak, Ryan Burtney and others.

New experimental performances by Satori Circus {All Sat}, Warrior Girl {All Fri}, Xaina, Marcus and more.

Gallery cross media installation by Detronik Surveillance and Studio-X.

Join us in Purgatory as we celebrate within a lush ambiance inspired by film's golden age with Devil Girl usherettes, candy girls and servers along with complimentary gourmet popcorn and specials on refreshing absinthe {and other mixer} slushies!

PRESS RELEASE

Artworks are based upon the idea that porn stars may be "sanctified" by their performances. Pornsaints is an artistic approach to porn, a pornographic approach to art, a pornoartistic approach to religion.

The Porn Church is the art side of porn and the porn side of art. It's a porn-art community, a new wave from internet's gutters, raising to consecrate underground stars. Art needs something naughty, porn need something classy, and here we are.

As D'Isa wrote in his essay "Pornsaints - a brief essay about pornography and transcendence", the definition of a Pornsaint is inspired by many religious concepts and beliefs. It's closer to Mystic and Oriental definitions (Taoism most of all) more than Christian. If God is the most unreachable concept, the saint, being closer to God, renounces human features and identity. A cool separation from the world, like an extreme behavior, is one way to overstep humanity. "...the pornsaint dwells in the house of the saints, but got there traveling a different way, and came in knocking at another door."

We are the Porn Church and we make the Porn Culture. Everything classy is welcome at pornsaints.org - vulgarity included.

Company/organisation info: Founded by the artist Francesco D'Isa in early 2007, Pornsaints is based in Italy, and made up of artists from around the world working in an array of mediums ranging from digital video to oil and canvas. Porn stars featured in Pornsaints pieces have included Madison Young, Kylie Ireland, Stoya, Sasha Grey, Kimberly Kane, Charlotte Stokely and Katsuni.
