CONTENT WARNING:

A Place to Live: The Story of Triangle Square chronicles the journey of seven brave individuals as they attempt to secure a home in Triangle Square, Hollywood, the nation’s first affordable housing facility for LGBT seniors. Since demand far exceeds the number of available apartments, a lottery system was set up to determine who would be selected. This film is a moving exploration of the applicants’ personal stories and the journey that brought them to the lottery and what the future might hold.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

The screening of A Place to Live will be followed by a frank discussion of housing and other issues confronting LGBT elders in the Boston area. Tickets for this program are $7/$6.

The Story of one night at London’s Transfabulous Arts Festival. In 2004 in the UK, the Gender Recognition Act came into law giving new rights to transgender people - the act itself dividing gender along binary lines. In the wake of the act, many couldn’t locate themselves in the new boxes or even tick one. This film charts performers who re-imagine what gender could mean in the wake of “the act.”
