NC>>  “JUBILEE 2009” 2009.

Jubilee 2009 opens as two runaway teenaged girls arrive on the beach to contact the spirit of Princess Diana using their suitcases stuffed with occult supplies – crystals, Ouija board, Aleister Crowley record, candles, and several pairs of shades. Over time, references to Derek Jarman’s Jubilee become more apparent, particularly during the Ouija board session where the only dialogue is lifted directly from Jarman’s script. Jarman, of course, originally repurposed this dialogue from the angelic conversations of John Dee. Through the dialogue, camera work, and their own performances as the runway teen girls, NIGHTMARE CITY attempts to investigate the process by which repetition can render gestures meaningless. This video was originally part of Nightmare City’s self-published TV-straight-to-DVD show, The Pixie Troll Witch Hour: Into the 3 A.M. Void with Carol Anne and Keturah (2009).
