About
(Monika Treut, 1999, Germany, 86 min, in English)

A journey through shifting identities

Made at the height of the tech boom of the late 1990s, Monika Treuts Teddy Award-winning Gendernauts is a portrait of a group of trans artists, activists, and academics living in San Franciscoincluding historian Susan Stryker, web designer Stafford, video artists Jordy Jones and Texas Tomboy, intersex activist Hida Viloria, and Goddess of Cyberspace Sandy Stone. Treut also catches up with Annie Sprinkle and Max Wolf Valerio, who she first profiled in 1992s Female Misbehavior. Viewed now, over 25 years since its initial release, Gendernauts remains a fascinatingly multifaceted look at the way that technology and the internet reshaped trans culture at the close of the 20th century.

The criticism I get is from people who say, Wheres the suffering in this? I happen to choose to deal with people who choose what they want to become. Transgendered people are one of the best-connected minorities on the Internet. Its the perfect medium for people to have different personas. Its making everyone transgendered in a way. Monika Treut

Accessibilité

Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter. The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject! If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at rajah@nwfilmforum.org
