Kalup Linzy

While I was at the Flaherty Film Seminar in June, I had the chance to meet and watch the work of performance artist/video-maker Kalup Linzy. His work deals with pop-culture, gender-performance, sexuality, and race with humor, pathos, and lo-fi aesthetics. Hi short music video LOLLIPOP opened the seminar and proved to be one of my favorite shorts in quite along time. Sadly for us, his videos are available primarily through gallery distribution and are not currently accessible to the home DVD audience. Nonetheless,
clips of his work can be found at his website.
