Trevor Anderson, Super 16mm, 13 min, Edmonton
A frustrated waiter in a men's burlesque club, Zak yearns to star on stage as one of the sultry featured pole dancers. Little, sweet and cheap, he works the room as a shooter boy serving up sticky swallows in tiny plastic tumblers. Trevor Anderson's DINX! is a trip back in time gently revisiting old hurts not quite healed and an emerging identity yet to be fully realized.
