Footage from Q&As with Rosa von Praunheim, including MoMA’s Cineprobe Screening, 1972

About This Movie

So, there's this rare footage from Q&As with Rosa von Praunheim, which is quite a find if you’re into queer cinema history. It captures the vibe of the 70s, with that raw, unpolished feel from handheld 16mm cameras. You get a sense of the atmosphere during the discussions around 'IT IS NOT THE HOMOSEXUAL WHO IS PERVERSE, BUT THE SOCIETY IN WHICH HE LIVES,' especially following its debut at MoMA. The pacing is a bit haphazard, but that's part of its charm, right? It’s fascinating how the conversations reflect the societal tensions of the time, and while the quality isn’t pristine, it feels authentic, almost like you're eavesdropping on a pivotal moment in queer film discourse.

This footage is a rarity, primarily circulated in niche collections and festival circuits. It has seen limited releases, often resurfacing in specialized retrospectives or archival presentations. Collector interest is mainly driven by its historical context within queer cinema and the candid nature of the discussions, which are not often preserved in mainstream formats. It's a unique piece that speaks volumes about the era and its cultural dialogues.
