Orlando, My Political Biography (2023)
Paul B. Preciado • 98' • France
Join Roffa Mon Amour and Oase in collaboration with Queer Cinema from LantarenVenster for an exciting celebration of Pride Month on Friday 7 June! We invite you to a special queer film night. Enjoy an evening of cinema and connection as we come together to celebrate and uplift the voices and stories of the LGBTQ+ community.
We will be screening a film, Orlando, My Political Biography (2023) by Paul B. Preciado:
Blurring the lines between reality and fiction, this film expands Virginia Woolf’s novel, Orlando: A biography, in which the main character changes gender midway through the story to become a 36-year-old woman. Being transgender himself, Preciado casts 26 contemporary trans and non-binary actors to each play the modern-day main character, Orlando aged between 8 to 70, all wearing a white baroque ruff collar, who tell their stories. It won the Teddy Award at Berlinale.
Talk: Romy Rockx & Bappie Kortram
Before the film starts, we’ll warm up with a conversation featuring Romy Rockx and Bappie Kortram moderated by Nychenda Fecunda, a program maker, researcher, and a wonderful waacker.
