3:THE SALiVATION ARMY
Scott Treleaven, Canada, 2001, 22', beta sp pal
A tale of blood, sex, spit, spunk & cult recruitment: for three years the Salivation Army operated a counterculture zine aimed at restless queer punk youth. But during their brief existence what began as a small, local gang transformed into an increasingly dangerous cult network. Part confessional, part recruitment drive. A vicious, erotic and instructional cut n' paste portrait of the underground.
