A fásil, a zokai és a ször (Bandage, Socks and Facial Hair)
Mária Takács, Hungary, 2006, satire documentary, 33’, in Hungarian, English subtitles
The spirit of revolt is not dead: the most daring get bandage, socks and facial hair. A group of female revolutionaries depolarize the male-female order of the Empire and strike back as drag kings for a day. Produced by the Budapest Lesbian Film Collective from Hungary (Puzschta Cowboy), their work successfully raises queer visibility and gender awareness with a dead pan humor.
