On May 25th, Pottenkijkers and DykeHouse Pr ess take over Filmtheater de Uitkijk for a night dedicated to leather, kin k and lesbians. We will read from Leatherdyke Love Letters, the l atest zine by DykeHouse Press, and screen Michelle Handelman's landmark do cumentary BloodSisters: Leather, Dykes and Sadomasochism (1995).< br>During the early 1990s, San Francisco was the epicenter of body modific ation and gender nonconformity. Transgender pioneers were fighting for vis ibility, and a bold S/M community was carving out space on its own terms. BloodSisters was the first film to represent this queer community on the fringes, featuring the players who started the current conversatio n on gender fluidity and radical sexuality. Shot on digital video from the inside of this scene, BloodSisters captures these queer outlaws in their zeitgeist moment with an unfiltered rawness that mirrors the acti vism of that era.
From pushy bottoms to macho femmes, BloodSisters is an A-Z documentary guide that shatters assumptions about gender a nd lesbian sexuality, and follows a group of self-identified leatherdykes through S/M practices and terminology, the 1993 March on Washington, the S an Francisco International Ms. Leather pageant, and the New York City Prid e March.
DykeHouse Press is a zine project publishing lesbian poetry, l ove letters and illustration, edited by Parel Joy. Their latest publicatio n, Leatherdyke Love Letters, brings together nine contributors wr iting about lesbian leather and kink culture — intimate, sharp and very mu ch worth reading aloud.
