Description
==>Trans Film Night: " REGRETTERS" ==>Free Film! Free Snacks! Free Talk! The Trans Film Screening Series hosts a FREE screening of: "REGRETTERS" + short films Everyone welcome. Allies welcome. ► Regretters: With just a stage, a slide projector and their stories, Mikael and Orlando open up. Both men, well into their 60s, share a common bond — they were men who became women and decided to change "back". What follows is a respectful conversation about the different lives they've led. They question the other's experiences with gender, sexuality and identity, while reflecting on their own. It is a controversial study – in its subject matter, in its production, and in its refusal to speak in easy political terms. Still, Regretters is not a lament on them doubling back on their transsexuality. Instead, this Swedish documentary initiates a warm dialogue on fluidity and complicates social expectations. **Also screening: short films themed around outsider joy, quirk and comedy.** dir.: Marcus Lindeen rated: unrated (2010) language: Sweedish with English subtitles trigger warnings: domestic violence/abuse DATE AND TIME: Monday August 27, 2012 6:30pm FREE LOCATION: William Doo Auditorium, 45 Willcocks st.
