One of Queerguru’s all-time favorite events every single summer in Provincetown is our annual interview with the quick-witted and wickedly funny MISS RICHFIELD 1981. After some 21 years as a headliner, Miss Richfield is now recognized as Provincetown Drag Royalty and she is always such a sheer joy to throw shade with.
Singer/songwriter TOM GOSS …twice voted Best Gay Musician is about to launch his 9th album REMEMBER WHAT IT FEELS LIKE in Washington DC before playing gigs both there and NY . After that, he is heading to PROVINCETOWN to headline the Annual Bear Week, It’s like a second home for Goss who has always enjoyed a mutual love affair with the Bear Community (he even married one)
Queerguru caught up with him in the midst of his travels to get all his news and to talk about the direction of his new post-covid music. It’s impossible not to be caught up in his infectious good humor and zest for life. He is always such a joy to interview
The Canadian auteur Bruce LaBruce is one of the very best queer filmmakers: part queercore, part queer punk, part pornographer …… (who actually hates labels…..), and who is always pushing the envelope with his work. He combines more conventional narrative and filmmaking techniques with his appetite interest for extreme topics, and many have explicit sexual content at a time when other filmmakers are no longer prepared to challenge the norm. LaBruce is a fearless creative and his influence and contribution to queer cinema is substantial and one of the reasons the Provincetown Film Festival honored him with their Filmmaker On The Edge Award
And why Queerguru jumped at the chance to sit down and talk with him: it’s not every day you get a chance to meet a queer icon ……
This whole extraordinary masterpiece was filmed by Academy Award winners Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman who had the near-impossible task to edit the recording down to under 2 hours, and their combined efforts is now playing the film festival circuit before HBO screens it at the end of June.
At the Provincetown Film Festival, Epstein and Friedman talked to Querguru about Mac’s most powerful performance pieces that we think we have ever witnessed and surpass his very distinguished body of work to date. One of the (many) awards he has gathered over the years is a MacArthur Genius Grant……its the description of genius that makes him so well qualified for this.
