It would have been nice if I knew about this earlier. Then there could have been more depth and possible interviews.
But just learning about the Tranny Film Festival this weekend doesn’t give one much time to prepare – but it sounds like a hell of a lot of fun and not a drag (pun intended).
So the Tranny Film Festival begins Friday, Nov. 6 at 8pm with a theme of “R is for Revolution.”
“R is for Revolution” is a collection of short films that obliterate the two-party gender system. Includes a look at queer farmers, animated trannies, stereotypes that tickle our funnybone, the Sent(a)mental Project, 1960s female impersonation glamour, music videos, the horror of Hollywood, the glory of beards, surveillance and racism in our cities and borders, and a joyous DIY-anthem against street harassment. Featuring:
* Dorian: A Picture (Directed by Joe E. Jeffreys)
* The Perfect Fit (Directed by Martin Rawlings-Fein)
* Out Here: A Queer Farmer Film Project (Directed by Jonah Mossberg)
* Kaden Later (Directed by Harriet Storm)
* A Guy Named Joe (Directed by Joshua Klipp)
* Equal+Opposite (Directed by Rahne Alexander)
* Color Watch (Directed by Jillian Soto)
* FMB (Directed by Maple Rabbit)
* Sent(A)Mental Project: A Memorial to GLBTIQA Suicides (Directed by Dylan Scholinski)
* Lexie Cannes: Transition Resistion (Directed by Tom Bertling)
* Big Deal (Directed by Hilary Goldberg)
The festival continues Saturday, Nov. 7, also starting at 8pm, with a theme of “G is for Glitter” and, thank goodness, it doesn’t seem they are screening the Mariah Carey movie bomb “Glitter.”
“G is for Glitter” is a shorts program exploring sex, love and rock n' roll (this program is 18+). Includes the Antony and the Johnsons music video censored in North America - directed by The Wachowski Brothers and choreographed by Fresh Meat Artistic Director Sean Dorsey, the Trannywood boys back with more hot trannyfag action, naughty cooking lessons, music videos, (very) public performance art, lesbian hookups, and dancing defiance. Featuring:
* Evil Auntie's Exotic Erotic Wedding Cupcakes (Directed by Leslie Streit)
* T4-2 (Directed by Allegra Hirschman & Shellie Citron)
* JEmAncipatioN (Directed by Jean Franco)
* Misadventures of PuXXy Boy: Sick (Directed by Alec Butler)
* !smileyfaceheart (Directed by Jai Arun Ravine)
* 3 Hour Man (Directed by TuffNStuff)
* Line of Sight (Directed by Charles Lofton and Elizabeth Steinbock)
* Hustle (Directed by Shawna Virago)
* Epilepsy is Dancing (Directed by the Wachowski Brothers)
* Couch Surfers 2: Trans Men In Action (Directed by Ken Rowe)
* Lexie Cannes: Transitional Love (Directed by Tom Bertling)
* Shameless (Directed by Ask Holmen)
Both evenings start at 8pm at Mama Calizo's Voice Factory and 1519 Mission at 11th Street. Tickets at the door are $12.
For those wanting to stay in San Francisco, the Hotel Mark Twain, near Union Square, has a special TRANNY rate. Call the hotel directly at 415/673-2332 and ask for the TRANNY rate and you’ll get $10 off a standard room or $20 off a deluxe room or free parking with a deluxe room.
