{"product_id":"keating-snake-hips-lulu","title":"Lulu Keating Shorts Collection: Snake Hips Lulu","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen filmmaker Lulu Keating moved to Dawson City, Yukon, she wondered if she might be the reincarnation of a Klondike Gold Rush dance hall performer known as Snake Hips Lulu. Keating's reflections on her life, devoted to the sexual revolution, reveal startling similarities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBACKGROUND ON THE FILM\u003cbr\u003eThe Odd Gallery in Dawson City put out a call for a Members’ Exhibit.  The proposed theme was “Selfies”, reflecting on the role of selfies in society and whether we’re at the end of that period.  As a member of the Klondike Institute of Art and Culture, I thought I’d do some deep reflection on a recent health problem, and what I gained from the experience.   Afterwards, I reflected on and reworked the idea into a stand-alone film, Snake Hips Lulu.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe discovery of the photo of Snake Hips Lulu from the Klondike Gold Rush gave me an opportunity to deepen the perspective - from the here and now of selfies to the days of formal portraiture.  There’s an exhibitionism in the portraiture of women and men in the late 1800’s.  Today, ready access to cell phone cameras encourages us to record every moment and mood.  In this era, described as the Age of Narcissism, what gives meaning to our lives?  Beyond the transitory physical indulgences, after the career accomplishments, what is our higher purpose?  This highly personal film seeks to enable us all to ask the difficult questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirector: Lulu Keating\u003cbr\u003eProducers: Lulu Keating, Red Snapper Films\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLulu Keating is one of Canada's most prolific and dynamic filmmakers, recognized for her compelling storytelling, unique cinematic vision, and significant contributions to the independent film industry.
