Ruminations

Directed by Robert James

A profile on Rumi Missabu, the iconoclast cofounder of San Francisco's infamous Cockettes. Through archive footage, animation and new interviews with stars from SF's queer art past, his lurid tales in and out of the spotlight are revealed as he reinvents himself at the end of his life.
Ruminations is a deeply personal documentary about a gay man reflecting on trauma, memory and survival. Robert James keeps the focus intimate and confessional, creating a film whose emotional force comes from lived experience rather than polished presentation.
