Vidiots wants to add a little spice to your December as we welcome back Founding Member comedian Ify Nwadiwe for Holiday Hornyfest. The holidays bring us close together, but what if we got a whole lot closer? Here’s a series of movies that will trim the usual holiday cheer and bring a whole new meaning to coming home for the holidays. Is it an extra hot winter, or is it just Holiday Hornyfest at Vidiots?
John Cameron Mitchell’s Shortbus explores the lives of several emotionally challenged characters as they navigate the comic and tragic intersections between love and sex in and around a modern-day underground salon. A sex therapist who has never had an orgasm, a dominatrix who is unable to connect, a gay couple who are deciding whether to open up their relationship, and the people who weave in and out of their lives, all converge on a weekly gathering called Shortbus: a mad nexus of art, music, politics, and polysexual carnality.
Set in a post-9/11, Bush-exhausted New York City, Shortbus tells its story with sexual frankness, suggesting new ways to reconcile questions of the mind, pleasures of the flesh, and imperatives of the heart.
