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

Over the summer we will be bringing you Summer Music Meltdown 2025, with classic music films ranging from soul, punk, reggae, jazz and Americana - this year including some choices from legendary DJ Wendy May.

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.

Supported by Hastings and Rother Rainbow Alliance and Peccadillo Pictures.
