The Ravenous Femme: Victoria Sin

Synopsis

Victoria Sin unapologetically takes up space when they are in drag, giving spotlight and agency to the daily labours of femininity that are invisible and policed.
Commissioned by NOWNESS, this film demonstrates the transformative power of Victoria's drag, positioning Victoria where they belong - in cinematic grandeur, with a gaze that they own.
