Sat May 10: 4.00pm PDT $15 General Admission $10 Student/Child/Senior $7 Member About (Louise Weard, 2024, Canada, 275 min, in English) A trans woman in trouble. Castration Movie is a labyrinthine post-modern epic about gender. A trans woman named Michaela Traps Sinclair (filmmaker Louise Weard) is a sex worker in Vancouver who splits her time between seeing clients and hanging out with her group of trans friends. As the weight of the world piles up on her she decides to reclaim some sense of control by seeking out a back-alley orchiectomy. The first part of Castration Movie (running 275 minutes with an intermission) contains two chapters: In Chapter i. Incel Superman, a production assistant named Turner Stewart (Noah Baker) sees his world spiral out of control as he uncompromisingly attempts to shape his life into the one he feels he deserves. In Chapter ii. Traps Swan Princess, a trans sex worker named Michaela Traps Sinclair (Louise Weard) finds her relationships becoming increasingly strained as she decides to pursue motherhood. As daring and revolutionary an indie film as any crafted this decade. The Wrap Its so painful and good that I can only bear to watch it in like, fifteen minute increments while pacing around the room in psychic discomfort Torrey Peters (author, Detransition, Baby)
