Raquela is a transsexual -- or "ladyboy" -- from the Philippines who dreams of escaping the streets of Cebu City for a fairy tale life in Paris. In order to make her dreams come true, she turns from prostitution toward the more lucrative business of Internet porn. Her success as a porn star brings new friends, including Valerie, a ladyboy in Iceland, and Michael, the owner of the website Raquela works for.
Screening with Rostrum Press: Materials Testing. Canada 2007, 3 mins, 16mm Director: Chris Gehman. Rostrum Press: Materials Testing responds to an isolated aspect of two films by Michael Snow: Breakfast (Table Top Dolly) (1972-76) and Presents (1980-81), with an additional/incidental nod to Snow’s Wavelength (1967). What attracted Gehman to working with Breakfast and Presents was the peculiar role of the camera as a destructive presence in these films: a wreaker of havoc. The idea of destruction as an integral part of the creative act.
