Join us for a double feature, and thematic discussion of two films, made seventy years apart, exploring trans identity on screen. From Ed Wood’s groundbreaking 1950s vision to a contemporary story of resilience in the digital age.
GLEN OR GLENDA
An iconic piece of LGBT film history, Ed Wood’s directorial debut is an astonishingly sympathetic look at crossing dressing in the early 1950s. Thoughtful and surreal, Glen or Glenda utilizes a unique narrative style to relay the dual stories of a crossdresser, Glen, and Alan, an intersex person preparing to undergo reassignment surgery. (USA, 1953, 65 mins, PG, English | Dir. Ed Wood)
BREAK THE GAME
Released 70 years later, Break the Game follows world-record-holding gamer Narcissa Wright, who loses her massive fanbase after coming out as trans. To win them back, she sets out to break a new record in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. (USA, 2023, 73 mins, English | Dir. Jane Wagner)
