From 1983 to 1989, New Yorker Nelson Sullivan captured more than 1,900 hours of video footage and saved most of it on VHS tapes, making a collection of 601 episodes documenting his everyday life in the East-Village, as well as following some flamboyant local icons like RuPaul, Sylvia Miles, and Phoebe Legere.
With stars like Angie Stardust (also music credits), Judith Flex, and Joaquin La Habana, director Rosa von Praunheim has fashioned a film about the teeming flip side of life in Berlin centered on eccentric characters of almost every imaginable sexual orientation, or disorientation -- most are American performers drawn to the city of "lost souls" as a place where they can give full rein to their creative natures.

Coincidiendo con el jubileo de la Reina Isabel II, Derek Jarman rueda esta película en la que la Reina Isabel I invoca con ayuda del ocultista John Dee a un espíritu guía llamado Ariel, que les transportará en el tiempo a la Inglaterra de los 70. En esta Inglaterra figurada tomada por el caos, la Reina Isabel II ha sido asesinada, y las pandillas, como la de Amyl Nitrate, Bod, Chaos, Crabs, y Mad, hacen de las suyas por doquier. Jubilee es quizás la película más emblemática del punk, apareciendo en ella iconos de este movimiento como Adam Ant, las Slits o Wayne County.
