In Memory of James Bidgood (1933-2022)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPink Narcissus\u201d<\/i> is a 1971 ground breaking, queer, camp and daring American film created by artist James Bidgood, and starring unknown actors such as Don Brooks, Bobby Kendall and stage actor Charles Ludlam.<\/p>\n

Alone in his apartment the hero of \u201cPink Narcissus\u201d<\/i> is having erotic fantasies about a male prostitute and surprise visits by a bodyguard. In every world he fantasizes about he is the hero, whether he is a Roman slave, a matador or a belly-dancing harem guard.<\/p>\n

Bidgood filmed \u201cPink Narcissus\u201d<\/i> on a 8mm camera, during seven years (1963-1970), in his studio apartment. After a dispute with the distributors of the film he decided to remove his name from the credits and the film was released under \u2018anonymous director\u2019, which led to rumours that the one who actually filmed it was Andy Warhol. Only during the 90\u2019s it was revealed that the actual creator was Bidgood, who was still living in the same studio apartment where he filmed \u201cPink Narcissus\u201d<\/i>, and he received the credit he was due. Since then the film has been shown in dozens of festivals and gained cinematic tributes all over the world.<\/p>\n
