ΜΠΕΡΛΙΝΑΛΕ 2011. THE BALLAD OF GENESIS AND LADY JAYE

The jury gives the best documentary award to THE BALLAD OF GENESIS AND LADY JAYE by Marie Losier. This film draws us into a whole new magical world of diversity where anything is possible; genders change, identities shift and two people can become one through pandrogyny.
The jury feels that nobody could tell the story of this once in a lifetime love affair like Ms Losier, a filmmaker with the unique imagination to match her film's subjects and the compassion to tell an extraordinary tale of queer pioneers into a simple and universal tale of love.
In an intimate way Genesis P-Orridge tells the story of his relationship with Jacqueline Breyer alias Lady Jaye. En passant one gets an insight into their personal gender-concept of “pandrogyny” and the beginnings of British industrial-music.
This is a love story, and a portrait of two lives that illustrate the transformative powers of both love and art. In warm and intimate images captured handheld, Losier crafts a labyrinthine mise-en-scene of interviews, home movies, and performance footage. The film documents a truly new brand of Romantic consciousness, one in defiance of the daily dehumanization of the body by the pervasive presence of advertising and pornography
