Illegal Tender

Queer psychedelic portrait of a young man’s desires in an industrial wasteland

Animation & Artists Moving Image 1987 14 mins

Overview

A queer, psychedelic portrait of a young man’s desires in an industrial wasteland, this film by Paul Bettell contrasts tenderness of two men together with sequences of cranes and high buildings, and the piece builds to a transcendental and intense conclusion.

Filmmaker Bettell sadly made only two films before dying from AIDS-related complications.
