Shot on digital video during the peak of the queer culture wars of the early ’90s, BLOODSISTERS is a loving—and unflinching—portrait of San Francisco’s taboo-shattering lesbian S/M and leather scenes. A fascinating exploration of gender, politics, sex, and activism featuring trans pioneers Tala Brandeis and Patrick Califia and a killer soundtrack featuring Chris & Cosey and Coil, BLOODSISTERS is the perfect Valentine’s movie for the person in your life you love to hurt—or have hurt you. 

Featuring an in-person introduction by Queer Cinema: Lost & Found programmer Elizabeth Purchell on Saturday, February 17.
