SOUTHEAST PREMIERE
Lashes, wigs, and dresses: when applied by transgender men and drag queens, these artifacts defy gender roles and serve as channels of individual expression.
This film, which is told through the eyes of nine trans-identifying individuals and drag queens in Puerto Rico, celebrates a lifestyle of possibility and endless creation afforded to those willing to break conventions to find fulfillment. The result is an intimate profile of a beautifully unique community whose members share deeply dualistic cultural and political identities.
Director Dan Sickles (Mala Mala) and Dmitry Zhitov (What is Perfect?) scheduled to appear
