With a recorded intro by director Elizabeth Purchell and a talk by Molly Miles.

“Wild, wicked, and wanton!”

Roommates Lisa, Beth, and Tess are three young women who each share the same goal of hooking up with their respective male bosses. While their attempts at seduction get off to a rough start, their peeping tom neighbour Billy spends his days spying through keyholes and trying to get a piece of the action. Will these roommates finally make it with their managers? And what about Billy?

Octogenarian filmmaker and “Queen of Sexploitation” and John Water’s favourite director Doris Wishman was working at a sex shop in Miami in the early 90s when she met experimental musician Tom Smith (To Live and Shave in L.A.), spurring a full-blown career revival that saw her honoured at film festivals around the world and featured on HBO’s Real Sex and Late Night with Conan O’Brien.

Intended to be her comeback movie, Dildo Heaven premiered at the New York Underground Film Festival just months before her passing in 2002 and then was never officially widely released until now. A charming shot-on-video sex comedy that defies all description–and surely the only movie by a senior citizen to feature an original rap theme song–Dildo Heaven(also known as Desperate Desires) is a fitting swan song for one of the most beloved cult filmmakers of all time.

Presented in a new digital restoration by Muscle Distribution, the screening includes a recorded intro by Elizabeth Purchell and a live intro by our very own Molly Miles, non-binary film curator, popcorn salesman and Doris Wishman aficionado. They are one half of Category H Horror Club and the curator of the recent Tetsuo and Beyond season at the Prince Charles Cinema.
