CONTENT WARNING:
After 42 years, feisty and delightful lesbian couple Edie and Thea are finally getting married. From the early ’60s to the present day, the tireless community activists persevere through many battles, both personal and political. These two compassionate and brave women are a model of courage and strenght that speaks to everyone, of any age. Through this film audiences will recognize that dancing, like loving, can continue at any age, and rediscover the timeless message “don't postpone joy.” Susan Muska and Greta Olafsdottir (The Brandon Teena Story) return with a love story of two remarkable women whose commitment to each other is an inspiration to us all. Directors will be in attendance.
This film is presented in English with English subtitles.
Join us for two of the most astounding explorations of people in our community: Edie and Thea and Vicki Marlene. These two documentaries detail the trials and tribulations of unapologetically being who you are in an age when many had to hide. Directors of both films will be in attendance.

Forever’s Gonna Start Tonight

CONTENT WARNING:
This is the astounding story of San Francisco's living legend Vicki Marlane, America's oldest, professional transgender drag entertainer. Directed by Boston filmmaker, Michelle Lawler, it explores the theme that creative expression is a transformative experience that allows one to overcome virtually insurmountable obstacles: social, biological, economic, and personal.
