Monika Treut is a Director, Scriptwriter, Producer and Director of Photography Allemande born on 6 april 1954 at Mönchengladbach (German)
Monika Treut est une réalisatrice allemande, née en 1954 à Mönchengladbach.
Ses films queer abordent des sujets tabou liés au sexe et au genre, en particulier le S/M (Verführung: Die grausame Frau d'après La Vénus à la fourrure de Leopold von Sacher-Masoch), le lesbianisme (Taboo Parlor) et la transidentité (Gendernauts). Les critiques ont comparé leur esthétique à celle de Fassbinder ou d'Araki. Ils ont recueilli de nombreux prix au festival du film gay et lesbien de Turin, au festival Mix Brasil de São Paulo, au Teddy-Jury de Berlin. Plusieurs rétrospectives de son travail ont eu lieu, notamment à la Cinémathèque Ontario de Toronto en 1993, au Musée d'art moderne de Cleveland en 1999, et au festival de film de femmes à Bologne en 2000.

Told through the narration of Sandy Stone, who acts as a sort of tour guide, the film documents the lives of a group of transgender individuals, and one intersex individual, living in San Francisco, California. The narration provided by Stone is cut with interviews that develop and illustrate the ideas and themes she discusses in her vignettes. The film is shot on location in San Francisco, with the interviews of the subjects taking place in their natural settings and surroundings including their homes, offices, and the streets of San Francisco. The film explains, through the lives of its subjects, both the social and practical changes and decisions necessary for them to endure in order to live their lives as they see fit on the edge of traditional gender roles. The idea of gender neutrality is promoted throughout the film. Gender is not a characteristic that should be used to define a person. The film also shows how the subjects all interact with one another in the transgender subculture of San Francisco.
