Exposed + High Heel Nights

Director: Beth B

2013 / 88min / DCP

Exposed Beth B takes us into the 21st-century underground and reveals a secret world where cutting-edge performers are taking hold of a taboo artform, burlesque, and driving it to extremes most people have never seen. Operating on the far edge of burlesque, these performers combine politics and physical comedy to question the very concept of “normal.” An invitation to examine our own inhibitions, to a liberation of the body and the mind.

High Heel Nights Intimate portraits of gay artists and drag performers talking about gender, identity, and all the fine lines around them. Beth B’s short film is a stirring reminder that drag-queen performances may be accepted in the mainstream today, but there was a time when they were strictly underground.

Q&A featuring Beth B and Exposed performers Tigger! and Dirty Martini, moderated by filmmaker Michelle Handelman on Friday, March 10th
