A legend in lesbian cinema, Monika Treut has been making films for 30 years, starting with her 1985 narrative feature
Seduction: The Cruel Woman (featuring Udo Kier – not bad for a debut film), and right through to this year’s
Of Girls and Horses, a poetic coming-of-age tale that also serves as a celebration of nature’s transformational power. Along the way Treut has also explored the nonfiction realm, turning her lens on everything from gender identity (1999’s
Gendernauts) to Taiwanese food (2012’s
The Raw and the Cooked).
Filmmaker was fortunate enough to catch up with the Hyena Films co-founder (along with Elfi Mikesch, her co-director on
Seduction) during post-production on her latest documentary, which was shot in Brazil – her head still “buzzing with Portuguese favela slang.”
