Session 1: Opening Night Film & Party

21st Nov 2014

Presenter: tilde
Website: http://www.tildemelbourne.com/
Event Duration: 360 minutes

Boy Meets Girl is a poignant, sensitive and sex-positive coming of age comedy about three people living in Kentucky: Ricky, a transgender woman, Robby, her best friend from childhood, and Francesca, a beautiful young debutante waiting for her marine to return from the war. Ricky and Francesca strike up a friendship, and maybe a little more, which forces all of them to confront their own pasts, prejudices and feelings. Writer/Director Eric Schaeffer distinctly addresses issues of shame and hate, judgment and gender as the characters define and redefine themselves. Part drama, part romantic comedy, Boy Meets Girl explores what it means to be ‘real’ regardless of the gender or small town you’re born into.

Doors open at 7.00PM for pre-film drinks and camaraderie.

After the film, celebrations will continue for tilde’s official opening night party. Join us in a welcoming space for tunes from a DJ, a set from Simona Kapitolina, and celebrating the fierceness of the trans community.
