Trans film at this scale is still so rarely funded, so I hope this screening demonstrates the demand for trans films, now more than ever I’m thrilled to use my role as a trans programmer to present this favorite from Lana and @lillywachowski.bsky.social on a gorgeous print, please don’t miss it 💚

Poster for THE MATRIX featuring a man, Morpheus, sitting in an armchair in a suit, pointing to a CRT TV, while another man in a trenchocat, Neo, stands looking at the screen. Around them are various other CRT TVs displaying stills from THE MATRIX. The poster contains information about the screening, happening at the Heights Theater in Columbia Heights, MN on October 3rd, with a preshow at 9:10 pm and the feature at 9:30 pm, with an introduction by Natalie Marlin.

My girlfriend dressed me up for my first ever trip to the state renaissance festival 🥰

A curly brown-haired woman looks at the camera with a slight smile. She is wearing a flowy black dress that hangs off her shoulders with a press button corset belt, a choker made of black beads and a rose, a bonnet with hanging black beads over the front brim and a red ribbon, and a yellow flower peeking out from behind her hair.

Some exciting news: I was interviewed about physical media as an avid, longtime collector for the latest A24 zine! It was such a joy getting to chat about where my love of collecting movies comes from, and the thrill of having physical copies of my favorite films, oddities, obscurities, and more

Cover of the A24 Zine Issue 34: Disc Revolution, featuring an image of a disc with text on it that reads “Welcome to the barely compressed, higher-and-higher definition future of watching movies at home”

Calm down, Doctor McCoy! Now's not the time for fear. That comes later.

Screenshot of Captain Kirk in Star Trek: The Original Series with a very poorly designed facemask over his mouth and nose. It looks like he is wearing an athletic cup with a steel strap going over his forehead and the top of his head, with little vials of yellow, green, and pink rocks beneath the bottom of the mouthpiece. He looks like Bane from Batman.

One of the most unbelievable things is this movie’s dogged resurgence as a major piece of turn-of-the-millennium SOV horror… gets that what makes this visual rhetoric get under your skin isn’t lurid gore, but a pervasive sense of feeling like what you’re watching was never meant for your eyes

Thank you so much to everyone who turned out to see Perfect Blue this weekend 💙 I loved being sincere about this movie and what it means to my transfemininity, and love running Queer Cut and hearing from friends and regulars about all the manifestations this queer screening series can take 💙
