National Preview

 

This films explores the world of feminine masculinity. Starting with New-York's legendary Drag Kings Night, this odyssey takes us beyond the traditional boundaries between the sexes, to where women turn into men - some for one noght, others for their whole lives.

New Yorks's Drag Kings show themselves off in clubs and get a kick from turning into their male counterparts, mimicking and poking fun at male eroticism and its power-wielding strategies.

Women in London experiment with hormones and soon turn into new men and cyborgs. Manliness becomes performance, subversion and the expression of an existential need. this is a film on human beings fashioning novel identities.
