Orlando, My Political Biography (12A)

— ,Cinemas
Three woman looks fabulous on camera

Director-activist Paul B. Preciado presents a documentary that is as bold as it is celebratory of trans identity, told through the lens of Virginia Woolf's iconic novel. 

Virginia Woolf's Orlando follows the centuries-spanning life of a young nobleman who awakens to find that they are a woman.  Almost a century after its publication, director Paul B. Preciado claims that fiction has become reality and Orlando's story lies at the root of all contemporary trans and non-binary life. 

Told through a myriad of trans and non-binary voices living today - our new 'Orlandos' - this docmentary offers a dazzling example of how life, poetry and gender can meet in search for truth.
