The Bewitched and the Bewitching
TRT: 99 minutes

One cannot ignore both the disarming and intriguing visions of both the filmmaker and the subjects of the film in these portrayals of love, art, or sex. Each film in its own right elicits different reactions, reflecting the pastiche of genres from suspense thriller, animation, to a spoof-docu-porn.

DICK HO, ASIAN MALE PORN STAR
(United States, 2004) Dir./Wtr.: Jeffrey Lei
DICK HO, ASIAN MALE PORN STAR explores an Asian male porn legend named Dick Ho who supposedly existed during the 1970s-'80s golden era of porn and who allegedly had the biggest penis during his time. This investigative UFO-style documentary explores alleged '70s porn film footage of Dick Ho in the attempt to verify his existence as there are practically no Asian male porn stars in the history of American adult cinema. As intimated through testimonials from porn legends Annie Sprinkle, Kay Parker, Juliet Anderson, Mika Tan, and Sharon Mitchell, Dick Ho is treated as a controversial mystery akin to Bigfoot, complete with conspiracy rumors within the porn industry to eliminate any knowledge of his existence.
