Before the New Millennium

About This Movie

Before the New Millennium is this intriguing blend of documentary and performance art, focusing on Kiss & Tell, a provocative lesbian art collective. The film toys with the idea of memory and censorship, offering viewers a glimpse into the wild artistic climate of the 90s. Digitally processed visuals create a dreamlike atmosphere, while the raw energy of performances by artists like Persimmon Blackbridge and Lizar is palpable. The pacing feels like a journey through fragmented moments—some poignant, some jarring—reflecting the tumultuous relationship between art and societal norms around sexuality. It’s certainly a distinctive piece that captures the essence of a specific time and place in queer history, making it a fascinating watch for collectors interested in the evolution of both art and activism.
