KATE BORNSTEIN IS A QUEER & PLEASANT DANGER d. Sam Feder/72min/USA/2014
Performance artist and writer Kate Bornstein explodes binaries while deconstructing gender- and her own identity. Trans-dyke. Reluctant polyamorist. Sadomasochist. Recovering Scientologist. Pioneering gender outlaw. Sam Feder’s playful and meditative portrait on Bornstein, captures rollicking public performances and painful personal revelations as it bears witness to Kate as a trailblazing artist-theorist-activist who inhabits a space between male and female with wit, style and astonishing candor. By turns meditative and playful, this doc invites us on a thought-provoking journey through Kate’s world to seek answers to some of life’s biggest questions.
