Screening: Transamerica

This screening will be introduced by special guest Glasgow Student Representative Council’s Equality Minister
***Paul Challinor***
who will also provide some info on upcoming events and services/resources available to for LGBTQ students at Glasgow University.

Transsexual Bree (Felicity Huffman) is a week away from the procedure that will finally make her a woman when she gets a phone call from New York – a young rent boy has named Bree as his father and needs bailed out from jail. She realises that he must be the result of a barely recalled episode of early sexual experimentation. But when Bree’s therapist threatens to withhold the signature approving surgery unless she makes peace with the past, she takes the first flight to Manhattan.

Featuring an unforgettable performance by Huffman, Transamerica won countless awards for its warm humour and positive depiction of transsexuals. A queer classic.
