"This legendary, unfinished film, fifteen years in the making,... is roughly to Queer Cinema what Orson Welles' The Other Side of Midnight is to, well, Cinema."—Dennis Cooper

The Torontonian G. B. Jones has been called the "matriarch of queercore" for her work in film, music, zines, and art. Since 1992, she has been traveling North America with a Super-8 camera filming footage for The Lollipop Generation, a lost relic of underground cinema finally unearthed. The gritty and sweet DIY fable follows a young runaway girl who meets up with a cast of perverts, hustlers, playground dwellers, and lollipop lovers creating a never-never land of queeruptions. Featuring appearances by a rogues' gallery of gay and indie rock musicians and artists including Vaginal Davis and Calvin Johnson. (70 mins., video)
