Sissy Boy Slap Party is a Canadian experimental short film directed by Guy Maddin.[1] Set on an island paradise, the film depicts a group of men who become caught up in a homoerotic apparent orgy of slapping after an older man (Louis Negin) warns them not to slap each other while he is away on an errand to buy condoms.
The film was first created in 1994, but the original print was lost.[2] Maddin then recreated a new version in 2004, when he was commissioned to create several short films for Bravo as an advance promotional tie-in to his forthcoming feature film The Saddest Music in the World.[3] The film was named for a game Vatnsdal frequently played with his friends, whose rules required them to attempt to slap each other while keeping their elbows locked to their sides to limit their range of motion.[2]
^"Maddin sails into full view; Bravo! airing five shorts by Winnipeg director to whip up interest in his movie It's an unusual bid to create a mainstream following". Toronto Star, March 31, 2004.
