Clublum Award – Experimental Film
The Deep Queer Massacre by Mathieu Morel
Mathieu Morel’s film is not just an homage to a genre that generally isn’t considered ‘high art‘ – it’s a tribute to all those that know better. This film is a loving, smart, humorous take on the straight-to-video slashers of the 1980s and 1990s with a very gay male gaze and meta layer of fanatical fandom on top of it and encapsulates the kind of irreverent, unconventional and arousing film that the Club Lum Award is all about. All that and it manages to be sexy too. For that, the Pornfilmfestival Berlin awards the Club Lum Award to “The Deep Queer Massacre”.
