Special Dossier: Zoë Lund

Editor: Adrian Martin  Editorial Assistant: Grant McDonald

Zoë Lund (1962-1999), formerly Tamerlis, is an icon of the New York underground, best known for her participation in two Abel Ferrara classics: Ms .45 (1981), in which she stars, and Bad Lieutenant (1992), which she wrote and appeared in. Yet Zoë Lund's remarkable life as an artist and activist covers many extraordinary projects, and offers the embodiment of a radical philosophy. This final Special Dossier looks at Lund's writing (screenplays and essays), her involvement with political and experimental cinema, and the films with which she was variously involved throughout the '80s and '90s, including the short she directed, Hot Ticket (1993).
