V.O.

In a variation on what DJs call a “mash-up,” v. o. combines segments of sound from classic foreign language films with segments of picture from gay porn films produced before 1985, making decisions based upon the length of the segments rather than their content. The somewhat arbitrary juxtaposition of diverse “found” materials often yields surprisingly appropriate results. v. o. suggests a new narrative space and pays tribute to a former era of gay life and cinephilia. The abbreviation of the title stands for version originale, a French term used to denote films exhibited theatrically in their original languages with subtitles, as opposed to dubbed. v. o. includes dialogue in English, Finnish, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish.

There was a trailer...but, it has since disappeared.
