BIOGRAPHY

Michelle Handelman is a pioneering filmmaker and artist whose work has left an indelible mark on queer cinema. Best known for her groundbreaking documentary *BloodSisters: Leather, Dykes & Sadomasochism* (1995), Handelman provides a vital archive of the 1990s San Francisco lesbian S/M scene. This film is often sought after by collectors for its unapologetic exploration of sexuality and identity during a tumultuous period in LGBTQ+ history. Her 1992 film *Flesh Histories* further cements her reputation, delving into the complexities of desire and body politics. Collectors appreciate her unique blend of performance and experimental film, often showcased in her earlier 16mm works. Handelman's installations, such as *Dorian, A Cinematic Perfume* (2009-2011) and *Hustlers & Empires* (2018), continue to resonate with audiences, making her releases not only collectible items but also significant cultural artifacts that provoke thought and discussion in the realm of physical media.
