Whoregasm (1988, 20 min, 16mm)

Requiring two projectors, Whoregasm comes with instructions for simultaneous screenings. Seized by Montreal Customs in 1988. Initially banned by the Ontario Film Review Board and shown a year later at the Toronto Festival of Festivals where it made "Today's Best Bets" list in the Toronto Star, Whoregasm mixes images of hard-core, mechanical sex with subliminal messages and shots of ugly policemen. "Powerful and provocative, it neatly packages Zedd's vision of a cinema of transgression into a taboo-smashing explosion."

 

Police State (1987, 18 min, 16mm)

An innocent man is harrased by the cops. Featuring Rockets Redglare.

 

War is Menstrual Envy: Parts I, II and III (1992, 77 min, Video)

With Annie Sprinkle and Kembra Pfahler, Taylor Moore, Ari Roussimoff An apocalyptic non-narrative tragicomedy in 3 parts originally presented as a double-screen opus that electrified audiences in the early nineties until the workprint disappeared in the trunk of a cab. Screened across the country and around the world, this masterpiece of transgression confronts the conflict between authoritarian systems and a nascent hedonistic revolution in the future lead by an amphibious nude woman named Shiva Scythe (Kembra Pfahler.)
