We demand meaning and consistency from the cultural products we consume and this program is designed as a crude rebellion against this comfortable idea that there are objective “standards” of any kind and that we have a right to expect “good taste.” Alternating between the absurd, the surreal, the powerful and the pornographic (it is Rated XXXX), this is a dish sure to stick in your throat at the polite and boring dinner party called mainstream cinema. This approximately one hour of 16mm material is a beggar’s feast of random nuggets of soiled celluloid, a compost heap of short films that were found, stolen, given away, borrowed and never returned, and spliced together to create new films. A jettisoned clutter of space junk from the past. When a crime has been committed police immediately search the one source of evidence that will lead them to the guilty party – the victim’s garbage can. Always check the garbage can first. Tonight we check the garbage can. – Jack Stevenson
