BloodSisters

“A queer classic ahead of its time.” – Indiewire

The screening is at rush! Show up early and get into the rush line to purchase a ticket if any are available.

We are delighted to screen the 1990’s leatherdyke classic Bloodsisters for Folsom Leather week.  This is a fundraiser for the Ms. San Francisco Leather Contest + the GLBT Historical Society.  Show up in your best BDSM gear, win gorgeous sexy raffle prizes from Mr. S Leather, Micah Riot Tattoo, and more, plus enjoy a thoughtful Q&A led by real live in-person leatherdykes!

During the early 1990s, San Francisco was the epicenter of body modification and gender nonconformity, with transgender pioneers like Patrick Califia and Tala Brandeis fighting for visibility, alongside the voice of a bold S/M community. Michelle Handelman’s provocative and pioneering documentary Bloodsisters captures these queer outlaws in their zeitgeist moment, shot on digital video with an unfiltered rawness that mirrors the activism of the era.

From pushy bottoms to macho femmes, Bloodsisters is an A-Z documentary guide that shatters assumptions about gender and lesbian sexuality.
