Documentary
30 years after its original release Bloodsisters: Leather, Dykes and Sadomasochism, Michelle Handelman’s ground-breaking documentary on the San Francisco leather dyke scene, is as vital as ever.

During the early 1990s, San Francisco was the epicenter of body modification and gender nonconformity, with transgender pioneers like Patrick Califia and Tala Brandeis fighting for visibility, alongside the voice of a bold S/M community. From pushy bottoms to macho femmes, Bloodsisters immerses the viewer in the San Francisco leather dyke scene, shattering assumptions about gender and lesbian sexuality, while broadening the discussion about personal expressions of eroticism and their political implications.

Leather Social Utrecht
Leather Social Utrecht has been organizing social leather events in Utrecht since May 2022 for LGBTIQ+ leather gear enthusiasts. The events focus on meeting, visibility, and community building.
