CGiii Comment

Anyone who knew Kathy Acker...will not recognise this Kathy Acker!

It would be interesting to hear what Kathy's thoughts on this film...perhaps, misrepresentation?!?

We will never know. RIP Kathy.

The(ir) Blurb...

A portrait of the punk writer Kathy Acker is the starting point for a conversation with the photographer intersex Del LaGrace Volcano around gender identity and transformation. With a hybrid form of documentary and fiction, Pirate Boys presents a journey into flesh, words, and desire. A new language emerges from a trans cinematic experience.
