So excited for @heatherjmet and my next @queerart film this season, chosen by the incredible @tamarasantibanez 🧡 come Monday night at 8 at IFC Center MONDAY: Break out your harnesses for the next edition of QueerArtFilm! Interdisciplinary artist Tamara Santibañez (@tamarasantibanez) will present "BLOODSISTERS: LEATHER, DYKES & SADOMASOCHISM," a deep dive into a community of Leatherdykes in San Francisco in the mid-90s. This debut documentary by filmmaker Michelle Handelman presents a rough collage of kink and BDSM practices, leaning into forms of play not often shown, even in queer films. From images of needle play to shots of extended BDSM scenes to tops directly addressing the audience as their submissives, the film is unflinching in its portrayal of this leather scene. Through collected interviews, an image of a community that is grappling with questions of forbidden desires, gender & sexual fluidity, and the politicization of their very existence begins to emerge. Between the bright colored overlays and the iconic 90s fashion (mullets everywhere!), the film itself transforms into a kind of a time capsule, documenting a moment in queer history in all its messy, complicated, campy glory. The screening begins 8 PM at the @ifccenter, and will be moderated by co-curators Heather Lynn Johnson (@heatherjmet) and Sarah Zapata (@sylk_z).
