Andy “Andy is a combination of a documentary portrait and amateur porn video. As Andy masturbates in his beautiful apartment, he describes in voice-over the process of decorating his house.” (Argos Catalogue) “Part solo porno video, part documentary profile, the video shows Andy masturbating throughout his beautifully decorated living room while in voice over he talks about his practise and philosophy of interior decorating.” (Rainbow Reels, University of Waterloo Queer Film Festival, 2001) “In Steve Reinke's Andy (1996), a static image of a clean, crisp middle-class living room is interrupted by the occasional fading in and out of the title character, who, clad only in a jockstrap, proceeds to masturbate throughout the course of the tape. The soundtrack consists of an incessant commentary on the living room's interior decorating scheme.” (L.A. in motion-LA Freewaves Biennial Festival by Marc Siegel, Afterimage Jan-Feb. 1999) “Complicating stereotypical perceptions of male sexuality and masculinity, this amusing short shows a man jacking off in his living room while his voice-over explains his elaborate decorating schemes and preferences.” (ImageOut Festival Catalogue) Andy is een portret van Reinke's bovenbuurman, Andy, en combineert elementen van amateur-pornografie met documentaire portrettering/profiel. We zien beelden van een in zijn kamer masturberende Andy, terwijl hij in de voice-over in detail zijn inrichtingskeuzes en beweegredenen toelicht. EH (International Film Festival Rotterdam, 1998)
