Oratorio

Through the lyricism and the baroque energy of the famous Christmas oratorio, super-8 pictures with a prevailing black colour catch in a jerky way an elfic trio of merry male accompplices wandering through the Père Lachaise cemetery. Some sentences taken from ‘Le Dictionnaire de l’Amour’ by Dominique Noguez make their complicity clear and are used as a counterpoint to the ballet of their loitering.

Tongues Untied

Marlon Riggs, with assistance from other gay Black men, especially poet Essex Hemphill, celebrates Black men loving Black men as a revolutionary act. The film intercuts footage of Hemphill reciting his poetry, Riggs telling the story of his growing up, scenes of men in social intercourse and dance, and various comic riffs, including a visit to the "Institute of Snap!thology," where men take lessons in how to snap their fingers: the sling snap, the point snap, the diva snap.
