Acting Like Women (2026)

A documentary that explores the explosive rise of feminist performance art in 1970s Los Angeles, where artists connected to the Woman’s Building challenged sexism and redefined art through bold explorations of body, gender, and identity. Directed by artist and filmmaker Cheri Gaulke, who was part of the movement herself, the documentary combines archival footage and artist interviews to capture the creativity, activism, and community that shaped this groundbreaking era. Executive produced by Lily Tomlin alongside her longtime partner Jane Wagner, the film traces the origins and lasting influence of feminist performance art.
