Film: City of Lost Souls by Rosa von Praunheim at Artists Television AccessCITY OF LOST SOULS (Stadt der Verlorenen Seelen), 16mm on DVD, 1983 a film by Rosa von Praunheim Angie Stardust has a lot on her plate, running a boarding house called Pension Stardust filled with misfit lodgers: an erotic trapeze duo, a magickal group therapist, assort...ed layabouts, nymphomaniacs and Lila (Jayne County), a Southern blonde who dreams of Hollywood. These tenants also staff Angie's fast food enterprise, Burger Queen. But when Lila gets knocked up by a Communist who promises to make her a superstar on East Berlin television, the real havoc ensues. Rosa von Praunheim directs this mostly American cast in a trans musical spectacular that has been described as "Hedwig and the Angry Inch … in reverse." The event will be accompanied by a complimentary publication edited by curator Bradford Nordeen, featuring archival imagery from the Rosa von Praunheim archive and writings by Bruce Benderson, Jayne County, Joe E. Jeffreys, Amos Mac, Marc Siegel and Justin Shock. Dirty Looks, a New York-based platform for queer film and video, is proud to host the West Coast premiere of a restored copy of 'City of Lost Souls.' Dirty Looks commissioned a new subtitle track to be cut to a recently restored copy of the film last September, in conjunction with an event co-sponsored by TRANSLADY FANZINE.
