QUEER CINEMA: LOST & FOUND

SHE-MAN: A STORY OF FIXATION

Directed by Bob Clark

USA, 1967, 1h 8min, 35mm

Queer Cinema: Lost & Found

A macho soldier is forced to take estrogen as part of a blackmail scheme led by the mysterious Dominita. The shocking part? He likes it. A singularly screwy piece of pre-Stonewall queer cinema history, SHE-MAN is the greatest force-fem story ever told by the director of BLACK CHRISTMAS and SUPERBABIES: BABY GENIUSES 2. In 35mm.

* She-Man is an exploitation film created by someone outside the LGBTQ community to titillate a late-night grindhouse crowd. The use of a doctor as a framing device, a subgenre known as white-coaters, allowed films to skirt around obscenity laws by alleging to be educational.
