WE ARE PAT documentary, 39th Connecticut LGBTQ Film Festival

How does one era’s comedy icon become another era’s comedy cringe? This fascinating documentary uses the SNL sketch, "It’s Pat," to reveal how representations of gender identity have evolved. Trans and nonbinary performers use camp and humor to reimagine and reclaim the controversial character. Julia Sweeney, the original Pat, offers her own reflections. Opening Short: NEVER NEVER NEVER (which is fabulous, btw)
