What's in a Name
With a deft combination of unobtrusive documentary camera work and hallucinogenic theatrical sequences, Eva Küpper’s debut film What’s in a Name reveals a fascinating segment of gender terrorist and body art performer Jon Cory’s (a.k.a. Rose Wood’s) journey
Here's what Frances has to say about the film:
A jewel of a documentary chronicling the day-to-day life of gender terrorist and legendary downtown New York City performer Jon Cory (a.k.a. Rose Wood) - it’s the Bill Cunningham-style doc of gender with an edge! As this fascinating individual breaks boundaries of gender stereotypes and performance on all fronts. Absolutely not to be missed!
