IFC Center - I Am My Own Woman Tuesday, January 20 at 7:00: Introduction by Elizabeth Purchell and KJ Shepherd East German trans icon Charlotte von Mahlsdorf guides filmmaker Rosa von Praunheim through the retelling of her incredib...

This month at @ifccenter.bsky.social, CRUISING THE MOVIES honors the recently departed Rosa von Praunheim with his masterpiece I AM MY OWN WOMAN--one of the few trans biopics to truly feel as radical and as original as its subject.

Join @schlockvalue.bsky.social and me as we celebrate an all-timer.

just two or three questions about (my) gender inside: tv memories; a mixed media set built on fake nostalgia; a real poem based on real nostalgia and fake death.

This is the ideal week to put out a new zine. So I did.

It's about phony deaths and real nostalgia, and real deaths and phony nostalgia, and David Gest and Tyra Banks.

You should read it. Subscribe if you like it. Become a paid supporter if you love it and want me to do more.

TYSM ILU HNY XOXO.

RIP Rosa von Praunheim, truly one of the best to ever do it. A brilliant provocateur, an artist of the highest order, forever eager to mash genres, someone who wanted more and better for queer people, someone not afraid to stand against the tide and be proven right again and again. Thank you. ♥️

R.I.P. Rosa von Praunheim, truly one of the great queer filmmakers whose work is more urgent and timely than ever
