I DON’T KNOW

by Penelope SPHEERIS
1970 / b&w / sound / 18' 00

I DON'T KNOW observes the relationship between a lesbian and a transgender man who prefers to be identified somewhere in between male and female, in an expression of personal ambiguity suggested by the film’s title. This nonfiction film – an unusual, partly staged work of semi-verité – is the first of Spheeris’s films to fully embrace what would become her characteristic documentary style: probing, intimate, uncompromising.
