TGD Movie Screening: I Saw The TV Glow
Join us for a free screening of I Saw The TV Glow for the trans and gender-diverse community on Saturday, October 19 at 2pm at Forbes Library in Northampton, MA.
A modern day cult classic for the trans community, I Saw The TV Glow (Dir. Jane Shoenbrun) explores the allegorical tensions and psychological horrors of understanding one’s identity without the language for one’s transness. Two teenagers Owen (Justice Smith) and Maddy (Brigette Lundy-Paine) become enchanted by the Buffy the Vampire Slayer-esque television show, “The Pink Opaque.” As they move beyond adolescence, Owen and Maddy are faced with the deeper questions, fears, and terrors of discovering, and hiding from, their authentic selves. PG-13, 1h 40m.
Wheelchair accessible, masks encouraged/optional.
