saturday afternoon matinee

This Saturday afternoon matinee is May 19th, from 2:00 to 5:00. We're showing Tipping The Velvet, a tale of lesbian love in the culture of male impersonation in Victorian England. A fully updated Movie Matinee calendar is online at http://www.albertatrans.org/tmn.shtml This one runs a full 3 hours, so we might run a bit overtime.

Tipping The Velvet: Dramatised from Sarah Waters' acclaimed debut novel, "Tipping the Velvet" tells the story of Nancy Astley (Rachael Stirling), a young girl who works as cook and waitress in her Father's seaside restaurant - that is until she witnesses the extraordinary performance of a new-to-town male impersonator - Kitty Butler (Keeley Hawes) - and begins to undergo a complete life transformation. Suddenly whipped up - and quickly flung down - by her love affair with Kitty, she experiences both euphoria and deep disillusion as she embarks on a seven-year journey of self-discovery - finally realizing that a life of sensation just isn't enough.

The Trans Movie Matinee is brought to you by The Pride Center of Edmonton (9540-111 Ave). It is held Saturdays at 2:00, and there is no admission charge. This is not meant to be a major public performance -- just a private gathering among friends with a common interest. There will be some munchies and drinks (pop, coffee -- no alcohol) provided, and you are invited (but not required) to bring some as well.
This is mainly meant to provide an extra outing, and a chance to meet people from other groups, as all are invited.

Take care; hope to see you there. :)

saturday matinee movie

This Saturday afternoon matinee is April 28th, from 2:00 to 5:00. We're showing Soldier's Girl, a heartbreaking true story, as the first of a few reprise requests. A fully updated Movie Matinee calendar is online at http://www.albertatrans.org/tmn.shtml

Soldier's Girl: A group of soldiers in the deep South take vengeance against one of their own when word circulates that he's become involved with a transgendered nightclub performer in this drama based on a true story. Barry Winchell (Troy Garity) was a young man who volunteered for the United States Army and found himself stationed in Tennessee, where he soon struck up a friendship with Justin Fisher (Shawn Hatosy), a high-strung fellow GI with a drug problem. Tagging along with a group of soldiers who ended up taking in a drag show at a bar in Nashville, Winchell meets performer Calpernia Addams (Lee Pace), a transsexual and former combat medic in the Navy who was a veteran of the Gulf War before taking the first steps towards sexual reassignment. While Winchell, who was straight, was aware that Addams was at least partially still male, he found himself attracted to her for her intelligence and sensitivity, while she found herself similarly drawn to him. As Winchell and Addams' mutual attraction grew into a romance, the unstable Fisher found himself increasingly confused and angry with Winchell....
