A multi-layered work featuring animation, archival footage and interviews with the likes of William Burroughs, Carolee Schneemann and Richard Hell, this is a thoughtful biography/essay on the late outlaw writer and punk icon, whose formally inventive novels, published from the 70s through the mid-90s, appropriated texts from Great White Male writers and challenged assumptions about gender roles, sexuality, and the literary canon. This film captures the essence of both Acker the writer and Acker the person, while celebrating the avant-garde legacy of an artist who forever expanded the limits of self-expression.

I saw her in Portland in 1993. I discovered here when I was in Australia in 1988 when I found Blood and Guts in HIgh School at a Brisbane book store. She became one of my biggest literary influences. May she rest in peace. Thanks for keeping her alive. Best, allgoraro.
