The Los Angeles Freeway Killer (Leonard Lumpkin) takes a drive to Las Vegas — and back. This video by Ken Camp (AS THE WORLD BURNS) is both trancelike and troubling, taking the viewer across the desert of California, through Nevada, and into “the frightening zone where lay the genetic codes and memories that make us all killers.”
Unseen since its 1984 premiere at West Hollywood’s EZTV Video Gallery, Ken Camp’s HIGHWAY HYPNOSIS is a disturbing meditation on the eroticism of violence and a major work of both narrative video art and queer horror.
Screening with a video introduction by Queer Cinema: Lost & Found programmer Elizabeth Purchell.
