A SWISS REBEL ANNEMARIE SCHWARZENBACH 1908-1942
Dir: Carol Bonstein, Switzerland, 2000, Beta SP, 56 mins
A Swiss Rebel is based on newly discovered archival material that provides a window not only on Schwarzenbach, but on queer and anti-Fascist artists in Europe just before WWII. The film is also a psychological study of a complex and talented woman plagued by her own demons, including a nasty heroin habit. Torn between the constraints of her conservative, aristocratic family, and her own radical politics Annemarie wrote about queer identity long before it was fashionable. (2004 San Francisco International Lesbian and Gay Film Festival).
