WO 12-08 | 21:00

“Here I am, and you can’t avoid me.”

Venus Boyz is a documentary that dives into the world of female masculinity, tracing the lives of drag kings, transgender men, and gender-nonconforming people across New York and London. Starting out in New York’s lively drag king club scene, the film unpacks the countless ways masculinity gets performed and reshaped.

Through intimate interviews and impressive performances, director Gabriel Baur treats gender as both something people express and something they live. For some, masculinity is a one-night playful performance. For others, it’s a core piece of who they are. Venus Boyz delivers a unique look at gender and self-determination, while also amplifying voices from communities that have long pushed back against traditional notions of what masculinity means.
