Description

Some women reject conventional womanhood in the name of personal fulfillment while others unwillingly have it rejected for them, and that’s the conflict which unites all the shorts in this stellar program. Wicked Women depicts three women in two centuries who share one struggle for self-determination. Machiko Saito's award-winning Premenstrual Spotting, a fave of last year's Trannyfest at the Roxie, focuses on a femme with a penchant for show tunes and fetish drag, then builds to a powerful revelation about the sexual violence involved in the queering of this woman's gender. In Untold Truths, a woman resists medicalized patriarchy, which seeks to suppress the naturally wild diversity of the biological world. In Jennifer Reeve's Chronic, brilliantly complex visual images and an inspired soundtrack capture the fragile, jagged edges of an emotionally troubled young woman's life.
