The Nico Ditch is proud to welcome Doc N Roll Films to screen 'S/HE IS STILL HER/E' as part of Non-Binary Awareness Week.

Genesis P-Orridge, born in Manchester, who attended secondary schooling in neighbouring borough Srtockport, lived their art to the extreme. A pioneering musician, avant-garde artist, spiritual explorer and gender revolutionary, Genesis has been featured in films and videos, but never the full story… never this intimate... until now. In this authorised but raw and personal documentary, award-winning director David Charles Rodrigues (GAY CHORUS DEEP SOUTH) documents the final year of P-Orridge’s existence as they grapple with mortality and, in the process, reveal the many sacrifices and ultimate payoffs of a life that transcended boundaries. Featuring William Burroughs, Brion Gyson, Timothy Leary, Alice Genese (Psychic TV), David J (Bauhaus/Love and Rockets), Nepalese monks, African witch doctors, and a special cameo by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, plus never-before-seen archival treasures, including performances from Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV.

There will be a post-screening Q&A with Rebel Dykes award winning film maker and animator Harri Shanahan and Anne Louise Kershaw, artist, activist, musician and curator on behalf of Doc N Roll Films.

This film is rated 18 and runs for 98 miniutes.
