In Kitty, Baby Girl—a Black trans sex worker hardened by Atlanta’s streets—and AJ—a queer Mormon teen cast out and carrying only a backpack—find one another in unexpected ways. Their fragile connection, formed in a world determined to ignore them, speaks to the urgent beauty and resilience at the heart of queer and trans experiences.
Writer/Director Brandon Deyette will be in attendance for the screening — don’t miss the chance to experience Kitty on the big screen and connect with the filmmaker in person.
Cinema Diverse is known for celebrating transformative storytelling that centers LGBTQ+ voices with authenticity and care. We couldn’t imagine a more meaningful context in which Kitty could shine.
