Right now, it’s a matter of whether the tail is wagging the dog or the dog is wagging the dog. You dig what I’m saying? Like “Driller Killer” was made for a specific audience. It’s like I’ve been saying, working on the internet…we used to make films where we knew what the audience was going to want. There are a lot of different edits of the movie. There’s one movie you sit and watch on your telephone and there’s one movie you’re going to play for 8,500 people in the middle night somewhere. But we should’ve selected a more exciting clip from the film. Who’s going to care about that? Well, I was surprised by how many people were there in the rain. That was quite a performance you put on at the Piazza last night.
Ferrara discussed his current projects, returning to New York after a long stay overseas, and the best way to find his recent undistributed films on piracy sites. Afterwards, he met up with indieWIRE at a nearby café (while hordes of curious Swiss fans looked on). The next day, the director was in an equally cynical mode for a public conversation at Locarno’s Spazio Cinema.

In town to accept the Swisscom honor from the festival, Ferrara took to the rainy stage of the Piazza Grande on Friday night with a guitar in hand for a wildly uneven trio of folk rock tunes that received an amusingly mixed reaction from the massive crowd (some of whom booed). Those familiar with the director and his distinctive persona know what that means: Ferrara’s appeal is defined by wisecracks, self-deprecation and an unmistakable blend of sleaziness and charm – just like his best movies. Abel Ferrara was in typical form this weekend at the Locarno Film Festival.
