Poster for Is There Any Place For Me, Please?

2023 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Martina was doused with acid by her ex-boyfriend, causing third-degree burns to the upper half of her body and almost complete blindness. The documentary portrait follows her life story after this life-changing attack – coping with the loss of physical attractiveness, the fear of a world she cannot see, and her search for a new meaning in life. Martina's story bears all the hallmarks of a good biopic. It presents a strong central character going through difficult situations and finding happiness despite many pitfalls. But what sets it apart from mainstream productions is the directness with which Martina speaks to us and its potential to break through many taboos.

Poster for Step On Grass

2011 · ★ 3.0 (1)

A seemingly innocent romance between two people is destroyed by reality in Step on Grass. Under most circumstances, “she” and “he” would be together happily ever after. However, the problem is that “she” is a teacher, and “he” is her student. The nature of their relationship may be pure, but society will always see it as improper due to their identities. Soon, one step in the wrong path sends their lives further spiraling out of control, and “she” is forced to make a decision.

Poster for WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

2026 · ★ 10.0 (1)

In 1997, the feminist punk poet and experimental writer Kathy Acker interviewed the Spice Girls for the Guardian (not, as has passed into legend, US Vogue). The Spice Girls were at the height of their fame, flicking peace signs at us from every teenage girl’s bedroom wall on posters ripped from magazines. Acker on the other hand was an unapologetic weirdo in the same vein as William S Burroughs, writing books so filled with sex, incest and violence that West Germany banned Blood and Guts in High School for being too pornographic.
