                   LUX presents



                   The Wayward Canon with Giles Round






A film and intermittent video art screening that transcends into a  
purgatorial nightclub.

Simon and the Radioactive Flesh uses Louis Bunuel's 45 minute film of  
an ascetic, Simon, a devotee of Simon Stylites, who proclaims his  
faith through standing on a column in the desert. The devil visits on  
several occasions to lure him from his duty, eventually succeeding in  
transposing him to purgatory; an existential beat nightclub in 1960's  
New York. In this reworking of the original film, each time the devil  
appears the narrative is interrupted by the insertion of a  
contemporary video art work. The interruptions continue throughout  
the film until finally we too are spatially interrupted, finding  
ourselves in a parallel to the purgatorial nightclub setting of the  
film's last dance, Carne Radioactivo (The Radioactive Flesh).
