Director Rosa von Praunheim, 90 mins, Germany 2002.
Starring Bev Stroganov, Ovo Maltine, Ichgola Androgyn, Tima die Gottliche.
Our Rosa von Praunheim retrospective continues with another chance to see
A Life in Vain, the documentary short Rosa made with gay Holocaust survivor
Walter Schwarz, followed by Queens Don't Lie, a portrait of four HIV+ Berlin
drag queens. Bev, Ichgola, Tima and the late Ovo Maltine have lived, loved
and performed together for years, bringing art and laughter to the Berlin
cabaret circuit, appearing in many of Rosa's films and even running for
parliament. It's a funny, informal, truthful film: queens are strong, not
weak - and they never lie.
