A legendary Drag King Night in New York is the point of departure for an odyssey to transgendered worlds, where women become men - some for a night, others for their whole lives. What motivates them. What changestake place? What do they dream of? The drag kings of New York meet in clubs and change lustfully into their male alter egos, parodying them and exploring male eroticism and power strategies. In London we see women experiment with hormones to become new men and "cyborgs". Masculinity and transformation as performance, subversion or existential necessity. An intimate film about people who create intermediate sexual identities.

Queer Giving is the material realisation of a practice-led research project into contemporary radical queer ways of being. It is one thesis composed of the film Mirror Mirror and the paper One Queer Gift. They are derivatives of my ethnographic investigation into the radical queer vision of London’s Club Wotever (2003-). Working within the potentials of their respective forms, both film and paper argue that radical queer identities, as found in the major urban centres of the metropolitan West, derive their multiple-meanings, integrity and raison d’etre within and through dialogue. Characterised by audio-visual provocation and cautious disclosure, Mirror Mirror reflects this formative feedback through its text and narrative drive.
LaBruce stars in this vaguely autobiographical look at a triple-X star-director caught in the downward spiral of his career. Remarks Googie, the art-house auteur who's either exploiting LaBruce or launching his comeback, "He was actually attempting to break down the whole subject-camera relationship... It was as if he was an existentialist trapped in a porno star's body." Well, almost.
In 2001 three students of Peking University in Beijing held the first gay and lesbian film festival. The festival was brought to a halt by the university authorities during the opening event. This was a foretaste of what was to…
With the song by Yello “Pin ball cha cha” and the singer that invites us to watch by singing “Come, come closer to me, I tell you man you will see…” we enter in the dance performed by Marina Grzinic. The public is in relation to the dance as in a peep show, implying a pornographic camera eye but as well a certain cannibalisation/pornographic perpetuation of our lives by the law and mass media that from 1980s will transform the paradigm of society and discipline into society and control. Therefore we have a duplication of roles, Marina Grzinic and Aina Smid in front of the camera as in some kind of cinema verite (talking about their sexual lives and lesbian attitudes) and Grzinic/ Smid on the TV behind them as a night show.
