Pat Califia

From pushy bottoms to macho femmes, Bloodsisters is an A–Z documentary guide that takes an in-depth look at the San Francisco Leatherdyke scene during the mid-nineties.

This documentary explores the notion of gender through the life and work of transexual lesbian playwright, Kate Bornstein. Poet Pat Califia, performance artist Justin Bond, author of ‘100 Years of Homosexuality’ David Halprin and female-to-make transexual, Jack Ireland, questions the usefulness of society’s rigid gender system with humour and intelligence.

Often called “the pioneer of lesbian gaze,” iconic San Francisco photographer Honey Lee Cottrell was a student at San Francisco State University when she made this lustful, elliptical exploration of female fantasy and self-love.

A summary of the anti-censorship dialogue which supported Vancouver store Little Sisters' ten year challenge to homophobic bureaucracy.
