Golden Earrings

Synopsis“Welche Bilder von homosexuellen Männern gibt es außer jene der AIDS-Gedenkfilme (noch immer zu sehen), der Pornographie (immer zu sehen) und der tuntigen Filmstars (verschwunden)? Also, was ist neu? Stell dir eine Kreuzung zwischen Gloria Swanson und Nosferatu vor, leicht bekleidet mit einem Kimono in den mittelalterlichen Straßen von Lissabon umherirrend, auf der Suche nach dem portugiesischen Matrosen, den er zuvor in Berlin getroffen hatte. Es ist eine Liebesgeschichte. Es ist ein Amateurfilm. Nicht über das Sterben, sondern über das Überleben. Nicht über Sex, aber über Nacktheit, ü̈ber eine Beziehung, nicht so sehr über Liebe. Es ist eine Liebesgeschichte – eine Zeitgenössische.” (Ursula Purrer)

BiografieJohn Edward Heys was born, raised and educated in the Garden State of New Jersey. Upon graduation, he moved to Miami Beach, Florida, residing with three aunts until it became so oppressive, combined with his loathing of Miami and her environs, that he fled to New York City. In 1969 he founded the first bi-weekly GLBTG newspaper called Gay Power in America. After editing 24 issues for a year, he decided politics was no longer his primary interest, and fell in with the hoi poloi, the underground, remnants of the avant garde, and in general the venerable old Lower East Side art scene and began his acting career. He credits the playright Charles Ludlam to a great degree for bringing his talents out, along with many other luminaries including Bill Vehr, Ethyl Eichelberger, H.M. Koutoukis and Ellen Stewart, as well as the photographer Peter Hujar for guiding him quite often when he was lost. As well he has created many one man performance pieces. John Heys has made to date 11 films , and now considers himself primarily a video-filmmaker. He resides in Berlin and a 13century Baroque Cloister directly on the border to Poland.
