This Is Not A Dream takes a fascinating look at how advancing video technologies have changed queer performance. From Andy Warhol’s experiments and Glenn O’Brien’s TV Party in the 1970s through to contemporary performers such as Holestar, Alp Haydar, and Dickie Beau, this documentary celebrates the opportunities that video has provided, and the sheer inventiveness of the performers who are using it.
