What is Passion in a Seaside Slum about?
At its core, Passion in a Seaside Slum follows a story that unfolds like this: In this silent color 8mm film shot in Venice Beach in 1961, Taylor Mead plays “the faggot” who persistently cruises a butch guy intent only on fishing in one of the canals. Mead uses the magic wand of a radio antenna to transform himself into ever more implausible drag figures in his attempts to garner the guy’s interest, but only succeeds in soliciting his amused laughs. “I played eight or more roles in this film–all bizarre, outrageous, non-pornographic but upsetting to many mores.” (Taylor Mead) Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with Anthology Film Archives in 2011.
