If you have travelled to an affected area recently, or are feeling ill - even a cold - please be responsible, consider the risk to others, and avoid attending events.

Flag: NetherlandsBloodsisters: Leather, Dykes and Sadomasochism @UQCF

Thursday 09 October, 20:00

Screening of the documentary ‘Bloodsisters: Leather, Dykes and Sadomasochism’,

Thursday October 9th 2025 at 20:00 hr,

Location Villa Concordia - Utrecht. Tickets: www.hoogt.nl.

Hoogt on tour and Leather Social Utrecht are organizing the screening of the classic nineties documentary ‘Bloodsisters: Leather, Dykes and Sadomasochism’ about the San Francisco leather dyke scene.

Prior to the screening Leather Social Utrecht will introduce the film. After the documentary, you are invited to join Leather Social Utrecht for social drinks. This event is part of the Utrecht Queer Culture Festival.

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. For more information about Leather Social Utrecht and their events, visit their profiles on Linktree, Instagram, Bluesky or Facebook.
