, a magazine about queers and cinemas, mostly, is proud to launch their fourth issue at É«¿Ø´«Ã½ with a special free screening of their cover film, Rosa von Praunheim's City of Lost Souls (Stadt der Verlorenen Seelen, 1983, 91 min).
Described as 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch in reverse' City of Lost Souls is a trans-spectacular musical starring a cast of gender outlaws including Jayne County, Angie Stardust and Tara O'Hara. Angie has a lot on her plate running a boarding house called Pension Stardust filled with misfit lodgers: an erotic trapeze duo, a magikal group therapist, assorted layabouts, nymphomaniacs and Lila (Jayne County), a Southern blonde who dreams of Hollywood. These tenants also staff Angie’s fast food enterprise, Burger Queen. When Lila becomes impregnated by a Communist who promises to make her a superstar on East German television, havoc ensues.
Screening from a recent remaster, including new subtitles provided for Dirty Looks' North American premiere.
An after-party at The Tempest Bar at 32 Southwark Bridge Road / Sumner Street will follow the screening.
