Femina Potens presents Down and Dirty: The Intimate World of Queer Filmmaking. Celebrate and promote local queer, trans, and women video artists as we feature intimate conversations with local filmmakers, a shot-by-shot analysis of the filmmaking process, stories from behind the scenes, and the inside scoop on San Francisco’s filmmaking community and scene followed up by Q & A from the audience.
A Night With Shawna Virago, the first in the series, showcases the black-and-white short films of the trans-fox rock star, activist, filmmaker, co-founder Of TrannyFest, and writer Shawna Virago. Reared in the diy tradition, Virago’s work harkens to that of Goddard and early Scorcese. “Almost Human” features a compilations of stills and political satiric while “Shut Up, Josephine!” is a punk-rock homage to Goddard’s early work.
Shawna Virago was dubbed "the sex symbol laureate of the burgeoning West Coast trans rock music scene" in Eros magazine. Her band, The Deadly Nightshades, are one of the hottest rising bands in the Bay Area. Ms. Virago is also co-director of TrannyFest, a film festival dedicated to supporting work made by and for transgender and genderqueer people. She is a founding member of TransAction, the police accountability group and she was the first trans woman to serve on the board of directors for San Francisco Woman Against Rape (SFWAR).
