"Trinidad" Film Screening
92YTribeca Art
This event has ended.
Just in time for Gay Pride Month, 92YTribeca presents QUEER/ART/FILM, a new series of all things hybrid and poly-sexual. Curated by Butt Magazine contributing editor Adam Baran and filmmaker Ira Sachs, the series invites some of the most exciting, innovative (and homosexual) artists from the dance/performance/film/visual and literary arts to present and discuss their favorite films, in rare prints, on the big screen.
The series asks the question: How does film create a link from one queer generation to the next, from John Kelly to Jean Cocteau, from 8 1/2 to Paris is Burning, from Marlon Riggs to Chantal Akerman? Join us every Thursday in June and bi-weekly in the months to follow, to explore these unexpected pathways from one artist to the next.
Trinidad
For the residents of this quiet, rural Colorado town, “sex change capital of the world” is just another way of saying “home.” This film uncovers the town’s transformation from Wild West outpost to “transsexual mecca” for more than 6,500 transsexuals who have gone there to align their bodies with their minds. Directors PJ Raval and Jay Hodges in person for post-screening Q&A. Director: PJ Raval & Jay Hodges. 2008. 85 mn. DigiBeta.
