Update: According to the New York Post, the singer did not submit the film to the festival and its inclusion was a total misunderstanding. One of her representatives said in a statement, “Miley was proud to make a film with acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Jones. She did not instigate this festival submission and is not participating in any way.”
Watch Tongue Tied
Tongue Tied, the thrilling cut-and-paste video collage by Quentin Jones, featuring Miley Cyrus, is among the highlights of New York’s first Porn Film Festival. The four-minute, black-and-white video shows Miley in black fishnets, paint, and tape, fragmented into multiple Mileys — reminiscent to Quentin´s daring self-portrait Naked with Paint.
“It’s a Pop take on S&M,” festival founder Simon Leahy told the New York Post. “She’s starting to become more of a contemporary artist.”
The NYC Porn Film Festival is sponsored by the free video site PornHub, and runs Feb. 27 through March 1 at Secret Project Robot, featuring amateur and professional work from international filmmakers.
The space will be arranged more like a gallery than a seedy Times Square theater of old. There will be a bar, and viewers can walk around and discuss the various videos and art. In addition to “Tongue Tied,” the opening night party features a Tila Tequila sex tape and a handful of independent submissions.
