Daisy: Prophet of the Apocalypse

Daisy: Preacher of the Apocalypse is a mockumentary/experimental film that follows a radical Trans preacher, who prophesies the end of the world. She reappropriates religious ways of indoctrinating people through fear, promising them their salvation. She preaches of the need for a new queer world, one that accepts difference as beauty, believes in reincarnation as eternal monsters, but most importantly, denounces heterosexuality.

Director Biography - Venus Patel

Venus Patel's work concerns her experience as a trans femme of colour, trying to navigate the world. Through the use of costuming and loose gender expression, she encapsulates the campy blend of her queer identity. Venus questions the heteronormative society we live in, why the need to conform is so heavily enforced, and how that affects the perceptions of ourself, others, and the world around us. Although her work deals with serious subject matter, she utilises a unique mix of humour, absurdity, and abjection to create multi-faceted performances and films
