Travel Queeries is a feature-length documentary film that examines the culture, art and activism of radical queers in contemporary Europe. Through personal interviews and documentation of performances, festivals, multi-media visual arts and spaces, Travel Queeries puts an exciting international lens on queer fringe culture. With the aim of building bridges and awareness, Travel Queeries considers the word “queer” and explores the complexities, innovative values and spirit of queer within a progressive social change movement. Travel Queeries was started in 2005 at Queeruption, Barcelona. Filmed in 2006 (UK, Germany, Poland) and in 2007 (Spain, Denmark, Serbia, Italy), production and editing was completed in Seattle (US) and Bremen (Germany). The film premiered in March 2009 in London (UK). The filmmaker, Elliat Graney-Saucke, has been a long time friend of QZAP, and we’re very excited to bring this to Milwaukee. ****** this film will be playing friday, nov 20 at 7:30 PM in nyc! check it out if you have yr friday night free!  nyc screening film website

september 6, 2009: preview screening of RIOT ACTS in nyc!

A preview screening of the feature-length documentary RIOT ACTS:
Flaunting Gender Deviance in Music Performance

Sunday September 6th @
Glasslands
289 Kent Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11211

Screening begins at 7pm, followed by a brief Q&A.
Performances begin at 9:30, featuring Novice Theory (Brooklyn) and The
Degenerettes (Baltimore).  The filmmakers will be in attendance.

RIOT ACTS is a transfabulous rockumentary representing the whole lives
of transgender and gender variant musicians, though a first-hand
perspective of the intersections between gender performance and stage
performance. This feature-length documentary highlights issues crucial
to interviewees such as songwriting, voice presentation, presenting a
body/bodies on stage, audiences, venues, the idea of the spectacle,
media representation, performing gender and notions about “drag,” and
the personal as political. The film culminates with the notions that
identities and bodies are undeniably political, and that the trans
experience isn’t always one of tragedy, but one of creativity and joy.

2009
Directed by Madsen Minax
Produced by Actor Slash Model
Running Time: 1 hour 12 minutes

Featuring

The Cliks
Coyote Grace
