S/He Is Still Her/E – The Official Genesis P-Orridge Doc

Genesis P-Orridge, of Throbbing Gristle, and the music and performance art collective Coum Transmissions, lived their art to the extreme. This intimate documentary captures P-Orridge’s final year, revealing the sacrifices and payoffs of a life beyond boundaries. Featuring William Burroughs and Timothy Leary, alongside never-before-seen archival footage, it’s an authorised yet raw portrayal of a pioneering artist, musician and gender revolutionary.

Also featuring Brion Gyson, Alice Genese (Psychic TV), David J (Bauhaus/Love and Rockets), Nepalese monks, African witch doctors, and a special cameo by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, plus never-before-seen archival treasures, including performances from Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV.

Screening as part of our Summer Music Season 2025, taking place over July and August, and bringing you classic music films ranging from soul, punk, jazz, reggae and Americana.

We bring the festival to you this summer - no need to travel just sit back and enjoy the sounds from our new improved sound system.
