43 x 29cm, 1pp. B/w lithographic poster for a No Wave Super 8 film directed by Scott B and Beth B and shown over a period of several weeks (two episodes at a time). The film’s income from each screening paid for the next two episode’s to be made. One large b/w still from the film showing Walter Lurie, Evan Lurie, Johnny O’Kane and Robin Winters.
From Wiki: “The Offenders is a raucous punk satire of the teenager-leaves-home genre. As in the detached and aloof manner of Andy Warhol’s underground films, it tells an amusingly deadpan story centered on the kidnapping of a young woman named Laura (played by Adele Bertei) and her abusive, controlling father, Dr. Moore, played by Bill Rice. An out-of-control gang of punk hoodlums flesh out the cast.
Shot at Club 57 and other Lower East Side of Manhattan locations, the film featured a cast of 16 edgy young performers from the post-punk Downtown scene, including John Lurie (who plays The Lizard), Diego Cortez, Laura Kennedy, Johnny O’Kane, Ann Magnuson, Lydia Lunch, Bradley Field, Evan Lurie, Pat Place, Kristian Hoffman, Judy Nylon, Gerry Hovagimyan, Marcia Resnick and Edit DeAk.”
