About
This series pass grants admission to all three screenings of three documentaries by Monika Treut which follow four individuals' journey with gender are documented across 30 years. Individual tickets are available for each show at nwfilmforum.org
FEMALE MISBEHAVIOR (1992) - Sat Dec 13: 4.30pm PDT
Monika Treut presents four short documentaries about individuals who live and act outside of societys expectations of womanhood. In Dr. Paglia (1992), Sexual Personae writer and academic Camille Paglia holds court with author Bruce Henderson. Then, in Annie (1989), post-porn modernist Annie Sprinkle gives a PCA (Public Cervix Announcement). Bondage (1983) is a look at lesbian sadomasochism with Carol from New Yorks Lesbian Sex Mafia. Finally, in the groundbreaking Max (1992), trans poet Max Wolf Valerio discusses his life and transition. What emerges from these four very different portraits is a compelling snapshot of those at the forefront of blurring and expanding the definition of sex and gender at the close of the 20th century.
GENDERNAUTS (1999) - Sat Dec 13: 7.30pm PDT
Made at the height of the tech boom of the late 1990s, Monika Treuts Teddy Award-winning Gendernauts is a portrait of a group of trans artists, activists, and academics living in San Franciscoincluding historian Susan Stryker, web designer Stafford, video artists Jordy Jones and Texas Tomboy, intersex activist Hida Viloria, and Goddess of Cyberspace Sandy Stone. Treut also catches up with Annie Sprinkle and Max Wolf Valerio, who she first profiled in 1992s Female Misbehavior. Viewed now, over 25 years since its initial release, Gendernauts remains a fascinatingly multifaceted look at the way that technology and the internet reshaped trans culture at the close of the 20th century.
GENDERATION (2021) - Sun Dec 14: 7.30pm PDT
Twenty years after the making of her groundbreaking trans documentary Gendernauts, Monika Treut returns to San Francisco to catch up with her subjects and find out where time and life have led them. What she finds is a city transformed: what had once been a utopia for trans communities has now grown largely inaccessible due to rising costs and gentrification. Sandy Stone, Stafford, Susan Stryker, Max Wolf Valerio, and Annie Sprinkle all return in this lovelyif bittersweetdocument of trans elderhood and enduring activism in the face of an affordability crisis and a repressive government.
