Description

Both Kathy Acker’s writing and a seminal portrait of her taken by intersex photographer Del LaGrace Volcano provide a lens through which to explore trans subjectivity and the queering of cinema. Pol Merchan’s hybrid doc fluidly moves from the documentation of the punk era to a more performative exploration of gender.
