The world tour to commemorate the 50th anniversary of “Deep Throat” comes to a close this week in the Bay Area with a show at San Francisco Drag Queen Laureate, D’Arcy Drollinger’s OASIS 298 11th Street San Francisco, CA 94103.
The definitive version of the film will be presented by Gerard Jr. and Christar Damiano, son and daughter of writer/director, Gerard Damiano Sr. Following the screening they will be joined by eco-sexual activist Annie Sprinkle and legends of the “Golden Age of Porn” Dr. Sharon Mitchell and Richard Pacheco, for a discussion on the history, cultural impact, and controversies, surrounding “Deep Throat”, moderated by Carol Queen, co-founder of the Center for Sex and Culture. Gerard Jr. and Christar will share their stories of being on location in Miami during the filming of “Deep Throat” and growing up with “The King of Porn.”
“Our father always dreamt of making films in Hollywood. We are proud to honor him by ending our 50 the anniversary world tour in California.” Christar says.
Her brother Gerard adds “Some theaters have been reluctant to show the film for fear of push back based on comments the film’s star Linda Lovelace made years after it came out. Her story is a very complicated one, and there is no doubt that she suffered greatly at the hands of her husband. People assume that he beat her because she didn’t want to perform in the film, but the truth of what actually happened on the set of ‘Deep Throat’ is very different.”
A drag/burlesque show will follow the talkback featuring performances by Cheetah Biscotti, Mary Vice, Phoebe Cakes, and Lady Monster, and end with a 70s themed dance party. Attendees are encouraged to “Dress Porno Chic” and will go home with “goodie bags” provided by UltraFleshArchives.com.
