Movie Screening & Discussion

In „Orlando“ (1928), Virginia Woolf tells the story of a young man who ends up being a woman. Almost 100 years after the publication of the novel, which today is considered a key queer text, philosopher and trans activist Paul B. Preciado writes a cinematic letter to Woolf, calling out to her: „Your character has come true, the world is full of Orlandos today! In his film, he traces his own transformation and lets 25 other trans and non-binary people between the ages of 8 and 70 have their say. They all take on the role of Orlando. For his resistant, intimate, poetic, thoroughly queer film, Preciado was celebrated at the Berlinale and awarded numerous prizes.
