Michael HIrsh and Jack Christie's lost 1960s underground movie VOULEZ VOUS COUCHES AVEC GOD? to debut TIFF Lightbox on Canada Day.
Michael Hirsh co-founder of the animation studio Nelvana began his career at Toronto's notorious Rochdale College where along with fellow filmmaker Jack Christie, they direct a drug infused experimental film starring counter cultural icon
(and FUGS member) Tuli Kupferberg .
After a few showings at the Roxy Cinema in Toronto, the film disappeared like smoke rings on a windy day... until last year when it was unearthed at the National Archives of Canada by filmmaker / preservationist Ron Mann ( Grass, Comic Book Confidential) who arranged for its restoration on HD at Deluxe Labs.
J. Hoberman, critic for New York's Village Voice wrote the lost 1960s film could have shared status with such cult classics as El Topo had the film actually been distributed.
Now circulating at international film festivals such as Rotterdam and Buenos Aires, VOULEZ VOUS COUCHES AVEC GOD? has its Canadian Premiere on Canada Day at the TIFF BELL Lightbox where it will be introduced by co-director Michael Hirsh.
