The Lollipop Generation


The Lollipop Generation is an underground experimental film by Canadian artist G.B. Jones. G.B. Jones previous films include The Troublemakers and The YoYo Gang. It premiered as the Gala Feature presentation of the Images Festival in Toronto on April 3, 2008.

The film was made over a period ofyears, one Super8 reel at a time, whenever the director could afford to buy another cartridge of film. In the end, the Toronto band Kids on TV organized a benefit so that G.B. Jones could finish it.It has been described by the Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema as, ...a trip through epileptic shots of documentary ugliness that go right to the origins and essence of sexually anarchic cinema.... However, Peter Keough of The Boston Phoenix insists, Theres a fine line between the trash of early John Waters and just plain garbage. G.B. Jones, perhaps to her credit, ignores it completely. Using Canadian pop culture reference points, Torontos Eye Weekly calls it, Scrappy as hell, yet often charming, its a lost Degrassi High episode remade as an amateur porn flick and sometimes as sweet as all that candy. The 23rd Annual London L amp G Film Festival catalogue says, Shot on Superand video, The Lollipop Generation harnesses these tools of the traditional home movie and uses them to make a fucked up family film. ........
