Hilarious, raunchy, and completely ahead of its time, City of Lost Souls captures the gender-defying American exiles who sought refuge in the 1980's Berlin club scene. Featuring star turns from trans icons Jayne County and Angie Stardust, this rock musical extravaganza follows a group of eccentrics and outcasts - including an erotic trapeze artist duo, an occultist spiritual therapist, and a nymphomaniac giving English lessons- who live and work at Berlin’s Hamburger Queen diner and connected boarding house. A major influence on Hedwig and the Angry Inch, City of Lost Souls is a cult classic of queer no-budget filmmaking from iconoclastic auteur Rosa von Praunheim, one of the most prominent gay rights activists in the German-speaking world.

This program is part of a three-film series dedicated to Rosa von Praunheim, co-presented with Goethe Institut-Houston.
