Deathtripping by Jack Sargeant
The Cinema of Transgression
A concise, investigative survey of 1980s New York’s underground film scene that documents and confrontational, low-budget shorts and performance-based works created by punk-era artists. Using interviews, critical essays, stills and film summaries, it examines how explicit sex, violence, bodily transgression and taboo subject matter functioned as aesthetic and political provocation, situates the work within downtown art, zine culture and DIY filmmaking, and assesses its influence and legacy on alternative cinema.
