Underworld Cinema: The Life and Work of J.X. Williams
J.X. Williams made some of the most provocative pieces of low-rent underground cinema in the second half of the 20th century. Produced in Copenhagen and unseen for almost 40 years, Peep Show is a brilliantly sleazy tirade against the Chicago mob that reveals a plot to get Frank Sinatra addicted to heroin and also exposes the dark side of J.F.K.’s administration. Noel Lawrence will give a detailed introduction on the making of the film and the colorful life of J.X. Williams, a reclusive enigma and grindhouse film director.
