Riot Acts: Flaunting Gender in Music Performance

Friday, Jun 30

2:30 AM - 4:30 AM

Performance

At the time it was made (spanning 2006-2009), Angelo Madsen Minax''s Riot Acts was one of few films about trans people that was also made by trans people, and created with one specific goal in mind: to combat mainstream images of isolation and destitution, to demonstrate that the journey within a trans experience isn''t always one of tragedy, but one of creativity and joy. Documenting the multi-faceted lives of transgender and gender variant musicians, Riot Acts takes the shape of a lo-fi road movie-come-concert video to suggest that identities and bodies are undeniably political. Live performance by legendary San Francisco band Lipstick Conspiracy (featured in the film). Brain Dead Studios
