What do Emily in Paris, Sex and the City, The Devil Wears Prada and Ugly Betty all have in common? The designer, trendsetter, retailer, ultimate insider (who may really just be an outsider)… Patricia Field. Field is the genius behind these beloved series and the "looks” that countless others call their own. Finally she emerges in front of the camera in this feel-good documentary by award-winning director Michael Selditch, taking you behind the scenes of some of the silver screen’s most iconic moments and providing a fly-on-the-wall glimpse into Field’s unique process. While the film delivers as a guilty pleasure, it is so much more: You will cheer as you learn who Pat is and come to understand just why she has been so integral to so many leading lights like, Keith Haring, Lily Collins, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Sarah Jessica Parker, Debbie Harry, Meryl Streep, Kim Cattrall, Anne Hathaway, Laverne Cox, RuPaul, Vanessa Williams, Michael Urie and dozens of other legends of art, music, movies, nightlife, and to YOU as well, even if you didn't know it.

Virginia Woolf’s “Orlando” tells the story of a young man who grows up to become a 36-year-old woman. Almost a century after its publication, Paul B. Preciado speaks to Virginia Woolf to tell her that her fictional character has become a reality. The transition of Orlando’s body now lies at the root of all non-binary bodies and there are Orlandos all over the world. Through the authentic voices of other young bodies undergoing metamorphosis, Preciado retraces the stages of his personal transformation through a poetic journey in which life, writing, theory and image merge freely in the search for truth. Every Orlando, he says, is a transgender person who is risking his, her or their life on a daily basis as they find themselves forced to confront government laws, history and psychiatry, as well as traditional notions of the family and the power of multinational pharmaceutical companies. But if “male” and “female” are ultimately political and social fictions, Orlando, ma biographie politiqueshows us that change is no longer just about gender, but also about poetry, love and skin colour.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Jay Bedwani (MyMother), Donna is an intimate and candid portrait of the inspiring trans activist, artist and performer Donna Personna. It follows her journey to live authentically as herself and to reconnect with her family. Donna Personna first hit the stage with the legendary Cockettes. Ecstatic lip-synching in San Francisco’s downtown bars is a far cry from Donna’s Baptist upbring in San Jose; now in her seventies, her siblings have never seen her perform or meet her authentic self. The documentary begins when Donna is offered a chance to co-write a play about an overlooked episode in queer history, the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot, in which transgender women Donna knew stood up against police harassment. She writes a character to be played by a young transgender activist. Praised for her writing and emboldened by her new friends, she heads out of the city to be reunited with her sister, Gloria. This revealing and uplifting film is beautifully observed by Bedwani and features mesmerising moments recalled by Donna in her emerging writer’s voice. Donna is a film that shows the strength that can be drawn from your community and proves: it’s never too late to find your métier and truly blossom. ‍
