Screening in conjunction with the Museum of Arts and Design's François Sagat: The New Leading Man series (see page 43), MIX NYC is proud to present selected scenes of Chris Ward's porno opus Arabesque. As much as we'd like to screen the whole 3 hours of 17 men in varying states of hirsuteness - and we certainly encourage micro-marathon-screenings amongst yourselves all around the city - we're focusing solely on the scenes where François is center stage, so that it's all-Sagat, all the time. Also starring Hussein, Joey Milano, Joey Russo, and Manuel Torres.

"Arabesque emerges from the silent films of Rudolph Valentino, starting in black and white and quickly turning into a lush, colorful photoplay. We peer into the hustle and bustle of a marketplace where a dozen hot Arabian men, hairy, built, and beautiful, conduct the business of life: buying and selling goods, gossiping about the village . . . eyeing each other and perhaps wondering about unthinkable thoughts . . . Slowly the scene thins out as men go back to their houses, some carrying new guns from the arms merchant, others with carpets, some with food. Finally five remain - the hottest men of all, each thirsting for something more than the cool water of the market fountain . . . — Raging Stallion Studios

If you find your self flush and thirsty from the Turkish bath scene, feel free and retreat to the lounge, cool yourself with water, wander about and if the spirit leads you to our Sagat Shrine, lay out your wishes and desires and leave an offering . . . needless to say, NYC Condoms are available at the hospitality desk.
