DESCRIPTION:Arguably America’s most prominent trans maker, Angelo (North by Current) 
 Madsen has placed their West Coast theatrical premiere here in thee feisty 
 microcinema that, for almost four decades now, has stood up for queer 
 empowerment, sex-worker rights, and the Modern Primitive movement. In fact, 
 ReSearch’s V Vale, Paul King, and Cleo Dubois--widow of the subject of 
 tonight’s doc--are all on hand tonight to introduce Madsen’s 
 masterwork, a feature-length exploration of the huge human community who 
 find erotic, psychic, and spiritual satisfaction in binding, piercing, and 
 tattooing their bodies as they please...a subculture aptly represented by 
 the life and career of recently deceased Fakir Musafar. Dubois gave Madsen 
 free rein to bring to light more than a hundred hours of previously unseen 
 recordings, to be stitched together with Musafar’s stunning photographs 
 and the voices of performance artists Annie Sprinkle and Ron Athey. While 
 Madsen’s provocative profile questions assumptions about 
 “masculine/feminine”, and considers issues of BDSM control and consent, 
 it also acknowledges the complexity of other ethical issues surrounding the 
 practices, faces the charges of (Native) cultural appropriation, and forces 
 audiences to think critically about the line(s) between free individual 
 expression and reckless self-harm. $13\n
