Director Larry Clark is called 'sketchy' in The Kids, which played the Tribeca Film Festival

. Outside actors like Chloe Sevigny and Rosario Dawson don’t appear, and if Leo Fitzpatrick is mentioned at all , it’s only in passing. It’s perhaps telling that the members of the cast and crew who appeared at BAM for a panel on the film’s 20th anniversary are nowhere to be seen in Martin and Harris’s film:nonetheless weaves a convincing story of how a 50-year-old artist exploited a bunch of teens for his gain.

Clark’s entry into the group was provided by Tobin Yelland, who met the photographer as a high school junior when he took a class on documentary photography. Seemingly apropos of nothing, but probably apropos of everything,contains archival handheld footage apparently shot by Yelland, in which Clark tells him repeatedly about a friend of his who would be interested in him sexually.

Can I tell you a secret about Alan, man? Alan is fucking…so fucking…sexually crazed. He just wants to fuck kids, man. So bad, man. He would, like, meet you, shake your hand, say, “Hi, Tobin,” and he would try to get in your pants so fast, man. He’s totally fucking horny…He’s the sweetest guy, he’s a wonderful guy, you would love the guy, man. But he’s sexually aggressive to the max, man. He just wants to suck your dick.

prompted by Clark riling up an apprehensive Hunter. “Like, Larry knew how to get that performance out of Harold. Like, holy fuck it’s the antithesis of any sort of standards and practices,” remembers Abrahams, who adds that the bemused shock on the faces of the other actors in the scene is legit. “Everyone’s reaction is real,” he says.

“I think when you’re a kid at a certain age, that’s what you think about. You think about sex all the time,” said Clark at the Cannes Film Festival press conference following the screening of his movie. He was combative and elusive, refusing to tell a reporter whether his actors were underage .
