This film is presented in English with English subtitles.
From the director of The Virgin Machine comes this captivating exploration of gender malleability. Tour guide and "goddess of cyberspace" Sandy Stone reveals a treasure trove of San Francisco's leading gender-benders: Max Wolf Valerio, a female-to- male transsexual; Texas Tomboy, who relates the shifting of sub-San Francisco tectonic plates to internal shifts of identity; and legendary Susan Stryker, a tranny historian and male-to-female transsexual. Sex-goddess Annie Sprinkle and a fascinating rumination on the sexually ambiguous female spotted hyena contribute to this unforgettable documentary.

Wallowitch and Ross: This Moment

FREE

Sat, May 13 @ 1:30 pm
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
in person
Viewers need not be familiar with cabaret duo Bertram Ross and John Wallowitch to enjoy this delightful documentary. Each an acclaimed New York artist in his own right--Ross as Martha Graham's stunningly elegant lead dancer, and Wallowitch as a multi-talented songwriter, composer, and pianist–the mutual admirers began their happy relationship over three decades ago and later fused their artistic abilities with equal success. Through candid conversations, beautifully shot interviews, archival footage, and performance clips, director Richard Morris creates "an exceptionally tender portrait of partners on stage and in life...honest and intimate, straightforward but not sentimental... Morris wisely lets the partnership speak for itself" (Lael Lowenstein, Variety).
Documentarian Richard Morris examines both the onstage and offstage lives of veteran cabaret entertainers John Wallowitch and Bertram Ross. Since 1984, Wallowitch and Ross have been a performing duo, entertaining nightclub audiences with such acid-tongued musical parodies as “If You Don’t Love Me, I’ll Kill Myself – Or Maybe I’ll Kill You” and “Don’t Do To Me What Woody Did To Mia.” Wallowitch and Ross have also been lovers for 30 years, who met while while both were active in the New York creative community; Ross spent close to three decades as a dancer with the Martha Graham company and Wallowitch is a Julliard-trained pianist and songwriter with over 1,000 compositions to his credit
