In partnership with Doc'n Roll Films, VFD present a screening of the acclaimed new documentary on former Hackney resident Genesis P-Orridge.
Genesis P-Orridge lived their art to the extreme. A pioneering musician, avant-garde artist, spiritual explorer, and gender revolutionary, Genesis has appeared in many works — but never this intimately. In this authorised, raw documentary, award-winning director David Charles Rodrigues (Gay Chorus Deep South) captures the final year of P-Orridge’s life.
Featuring William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Timothy Leary, Alice Genese (Psychic TV), David J (Bauhaus/Love and Rockets), Nepalese monks, African witch doctors, and a surprise cameo from Queen Elizabeth, the film offers never-before-seen archives and performance footage from Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A (host TBC)
The screening takes place at VFDalston No64 in the basement space, this is a relaxed environment, there is a set of stairs to reach the basement.
