Bright Lights Cinema Series: ‘Playland’

Directed by Georden West, MFA ’18 (drama/fantasy/documentary). Sophie Tupholme writes for the International Film Festival Rotterdam, “With an eclectic ensemble of queer performers, including drag icon Lady Bunny and Pose’s Danielle Cooper, Playland is transdisciplinary in every sense of the word: music, dance, archival footage, tableaux, opera, and performance art are layered into an ethereal piece subverting all boundaries. An expressionist and very queer bricolage, focusing on an atemporal night in [Boston’s] renowned Playland Café.” Discussion with writer/director West to follow. LGBTQIA, GD, F, EC [CC]
