The internationally acclaimed Castration Movie Anthology makes its NZ premiere across two nights at Academy Cinemas as part of Auckland Pride.
Spanning more than nine hours of ambitious, underground trans cinema, the anthology explores gender, intimacy and power through intersecting lives in Vancouver and New York. Director Louise Weard will attend both evenings to introduce and discuss the films.
You won't want to miss these very special evening screenings, parts one and two of a singular epic that is unlike anything you've seen before.
There will be an opening conversation between the director and academic‑activist Dr Emmy Rākete to kick things off, followed by a long intermission for casual conversation, drinks, and food. Each night will finish with a full audience Q&A.
