Gendernauts Digital Restoration

Monika TREUT 1999 Germany, USA Documentary color 86min English DCP
Gendernauts explores phenomena of gender fluidity at the end of the last millennium in the Bay Area, California. It is a film about cyborgs, people who alter their bodies and minds with new technologies and chemistry, with an emphasis on biological women who use the male sexual hormone testosterone. We get to know San Francisco’s leading gender mixers: Max Wolf VALERIO, Jordy JONES, Stafford, an intersexed woman Hida, sex goddess Annie SPRINKLE and ex-centerfold model Tornado, and our tour guide for the journey through shifting gender identities is Sandy STONE, also known as the Goddess of Cyberspace.
