ORLANDO, OR MY POLITICAL BIOGRAPHY

  • Paul B. Preciado

Almost a hundred years ago, Orlando was a story about a young man’s transformation into a woman. Today, it is the story of many. Each and every Orlando is on his and her own journey, but not alone. The film lays the foundation for how we will think and talk about gender in the future.
