FEMALE MISBEHAVIOR

Known for films about sexual identity, fearless director Treut's new documentary is a departure from her previous six films. "Warrior of Light" focuses on artist activist Yvonne Bezerra and her work with Rio de Janeiro's street children. The Thessaloniki Documentary Festival's retrospective of Treut also will include "Gendernauts" (1999, about gender fluidity in the Bay Area), "Female Misbehavior" (1992, four portraits of people, from "post-feminist" Camille Paglia to a transsexual Native American) and "Didn't Do It for Love" (1997, a look at a Norwegian-born woman, who was kicked out of Mexico in 1966, became a New York dominatrix in the 80s and counseled sex offenders still later). The "New York Times" called the latter "Adventurous, Erotic, Disturbing". The emblem fits much of Treut's work.
