The artist Venfield 8 is back with one of his most daring pieces yet — one might even call it a prime cut!
Cannibal Culture is a new oversized portfolio that isn't a book and isn't a magazine but IS highly provocative and collectible. In the debut issue, there is a theme that will make your mouth water — or turn your stomach! Either way, it's fantastic work.
There are only 200 signed and numbered copies out there — get yours for $30 (shipping is free to anywhere in the world) at Venfield8.com.

I've got a full review of The Last Resort — a gripping doc about the photography of Andy Sweet and Gary Monroe — over at Gr8erDays, and I encourage you to read it and seek out the film. Sweet, who was murdered in 1982, was probably gay, and whether or not he was, along with shooting indelible images of the aging Jewish culture of Miami Beach in the '70s, he also shot incredible images of drag gatherings.

My friend Brett Ross attended a performance of Daniel's Husband at the Westside Theatre (407 W. 43rd St.), where it's playing through Sunday, December 30, and had much the same reaction I did — it is a great play not to be missed, and one he said had changed his mind about the importance of same-sex marriage.
No mean feat for a confirmed bachelor!
Featuring the same cast from the 2017 production I reviewed, the show is a must if you're in NYC.
My original review below ...

Luchino Visconti's 1971 classic Death in Venice — starring gay actor Dirk Bogarde — has been restored by Cineteca di Bologna, Istituto Luce - Cinecittà and is beginning an engagement at NYC's Quad Cinema December 14.
The adaptation of Mann's novel — about a composer who is destroyed by his unquenchable desire for boy — has been called one of the best films ever made, and it's long been hailed as a gay classic. It was certainly a bold choice for Bogarde, and it would probably be interesting to see how a previously praised film about a man obsessed with a 16-year-old plays in 2018.
Don't miss a chance to see it as it was meant to be seen.
