We are happy to welcome director Monika Treut at the Pornfilmfestival.
20 years after her film “Gendernauts”, which portrayed various pioneers of the trans movement in San Francisco, Monika Treut visits some of her protagonists again. How have their lives changed? How do they deal with right-wing conservative politics that threaten the hard-won rights of minorities? While San Francisco was then, as Anna Sprinkle puts it, “the clitoris of the United States,” aggressive gentrification has drawn most of them to the more affordable suburbs. Alternating between calm images and flashbacks, the film describes how the Gendernauts have grown into their identities, and how their activism has changed and developed over time: from questioning the gender dichotomy to positioning people themselves in relation to nature in the age of the Anthropocene.
