Jackie Curtis, the sexually ambiguous star of Andy Warhol films, is remembered by thirty friends and colleagues, including Lily Tomlin, Harvey Fierstein, Holly Woodlawn, Joe Dallesandro and Paul Morrissey in this remarkable documentary.  Woodlawn and the film's director join the Bent Lens Salon in person following the film.

Craig Highberger's affectionate documentary portrait recalls an era when Jackie, Candy Darling and Holly Woodlawn defined outré. Together they starred in Paul Morrissey's WOMEN IN REVOLT (1972), but it was Jackie - poet/playwright/actress/director - who continually pushed the envelope, making the world more aware if not more accepting for transvestites who changed their minds as often as their wigs.

Curtis was a Warhol superstar but his career as a hugely talented off-off Broadway playwright and performer went back to the early 60s and continued through the 70s. A pioneer of genderbending, he was part of a dizzying world of drugs, dresses and alternative theatre, like a New York precursor to the San Francisco Cockettes with a similar taste in outrageous attitudes and vintage clothing.

The Bent Lens Salon follows the screening and features director Craig Highberger and Warhol star Holly Woodlawn in person for a question-and-answer session with the audience.

Please join Bent Lens Cinema in honoring the lives and struggles of GLBTQ communities around the world which are so eloquently depicted in the film Dangerous Living: Coming Out in the Developing World.  From John Scagliotti, acclaimed director of Before Stonewall and After Stonewall, comes the best treatment to date of the lives of GLBTQ people from the developing world.  It should not be missed.

"Dangerous Living" follows the terrifying story of the Cairo 52, as the men arrested in a landmark gay club in Egypt came to be known. While their treatment claimed international headlines, far less well known are stories and struggles of queer people from Honduras, Jamaica, Nigeria, Thailand, Kenya, the Phillipines, India and Brazil, documented here in startling accounts of repressive governments and religions which operate almost unchallenged in so many parts of the world.
