SPEED AND STRIKE PRESENT: LOUISE WEARD'S CASTRATION MOVIE: ANTHOLOGY II. THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
Castration Movie is a labyrinthine post-modern epic about gender. A trans woman named Michaela “Traps” Sinclair (filmmaker Louise Weard) is a sex worker in Vancouver who splits her time between seeing clients and hanging out with her group of trans friends. As the weight of the world piles up on her she decides to reclaim some sense of control by seeking out a back-alley orchiectomy.
We are super excited to announce Filmmaker Louise Weard joins us at CULTPLEX for a post-film discussion and Q&A following the screening of her new film, Castration Movie pt.ii.
Written and directed by Louise Weard (Computer Hearts), Castration Movie Anthology ii. The Best of Both World’s cast includes Ivy Wolk (Anora), Lea Rose Sebastianis (The All Golden), Hesse Deni (Brain Death), Jack Haven (I Saw the TV Glow), Alexandra McVicker (The Serpent’s Skin), Betsey Brown (Actors), Theda Hammel (Stress Positions), and Peter Vack (www.RachelOrmont.com), amongst a mix of other emerging talent and weird and wonderful cameos.
