Quentin Crisp. Reclaiming a Missing Chapter- With Film Maker Adrian Goycoolea.

Adrian Goycoolea was born in Brazil to Chilean and British parents and has lived in Rio de Janeiro, Santiago, New York City, and the Midwest. Perhaps because of this diverse background, his films often address issues of location and identity, exploring the intersections of personal memory with social and political histories. I spoke to him about his latest project- Do Not fade. The Idea: Reclaiming a Missing Chapter Quentin Crisp was a pioneer who spent a lifetime being punished for refusing to perform a gender that wasn't his. In the 1930s when it was sinful for women to wear make-up he wore lipstick, eye shadow, and had long henna'ed hair. At the age of 65 he published his groundbreaking autobiography, The Naked Civil Servant that went on to be made into a film starring John Hurt making both Crisp and Hurt famous. In his final posthumous autobiography, he wrote: "At the age of ninety, it has finally been explained to me that I'm not really homosexual. I'm transgender. I accept that now." That sentence is the heart of our film, Do Not Fade.
