    Sissy Boy Slap Party

    • 2004
    • Guy Maddin

    Starring Louis Negin and his Chippewa Sissy-Boys, this six-minute study in what can go wrong when the sissys are left alone is an exercise in grafting the Three Stooges onto a Kenneth Anger lilac bush. Originally commissioned as a four-minute short in support of the Saddest Music in the World, this 6 minute version stands on its own as a timeless look at a very human problem. Now contains 50% more slapping!
