Cinema of Transgression

Cinema of Transgression ( cinema of transgression ) is a term coined Nick Zedd in 1985 to describe a native to New York City underground film movement, which consisted of a loose group of like-minded artists.

Underground Film Movement

They used shock effects and humor in her work. Among the main participants included Nick Zedd, Kembra Pfahler, John Waters, Casandra Stark, Beth B, Tommy Turner, Richard Kern and Lydia Lunch, which began in the late 1970s to the mid- 1980s, films with very low budgets with cheap Super 8 cameras making.

Zedd explained the philosophy of the Cinema of Transgression in Cinema of Transgression Manifesto, the pseudonym in the Underground Film Bulletin (1984-1990) appeared.

Richard Kern, perhaps the most famous artists of the transgression, began to make films in New York with actors Nick Zedd and Lung Leg. Some were videos for artists such as Butthole Surfers and Sonic Youth.

" We propose did all film- schools be blown up and all boring films never be made ​​again."

It went straight from the New Cinema or the No Wave film, which were directly related to the New York Punk and No Wave in music.
