more details » Children of the Cockettes (extended 90 minute roughcut) http://oddballfilms.blogspot.com/2011/12/mister-was-children-of-cockettes-thurs.html Oddball Films and Mister WA present Children of the Cockettes (extended 90 minute roughcut). Through the lens of The Cockettes' heritage, Mister WA explores the free-spirited and non-conformist performance torches carried by the likes of Thrillpeddlers, Trannyhack and Peaches Christ. This organically-developed documentary investigates the current resurgence of glam gender performances and theatre of the ridiculous in contemporary San Francisco. The free-form documentary integrates The Cockettes' esthetics down to its narrative as it weaves a cinematic quilt of queer art, performance, LGBT community, music and glamor unique to San Francisco. This project feeds off of hundreds of hours of video footage gathered in service to local performance community and presents a "Who's Who" of interconnected Bay area culture vignettes. Come early and catch the pre-show of Cockettes-era footage from the Oddball Film vaults and a live show by performers featured in Children of the Cockettes! The filmmaker and 'original' Cockette Rumi Missabu will be in attendance. Audience feedback and commentary are encouraged as the filmmaker enters his final round of revisions prior to release. Cockette Rumi Missabu' s cult classic DVD Elevator Girls in Bondage will be available for sale, hand-signed and kissed by Rumi!
