Taking place entirely on "Cybil's Disco Jet," "Decomp Disco" places us in the midst of a disco-fueled quarrel between two women in 1978.
Created by burying a 16mm print of "Disco Fever" (1978) in the earth and allowing the film stock to begin its decomposition process, "Decomp Disco" queers the gazes of its characters, imagining lust in the glances of two women on a disco-fueled jumbo jet. Through repetition and degradation, this found footage film reclaims and reimagines a campy piece of film history straight from the dust bin.
