Film synopsis:
Artist and writer Kate Bornstein explodes binaries while deconstructing gender – and her own identity. Trans-dyke. Reluctant polyamorist. Sadomasochist. Recovering Scientologist. Pioneering gender outlaw. Sam Feder’s playful and meditative portrait on Bornstein captures rollicking public performances and painful personal revelations as it bears witness to Kate as a trailblazing artist-theorist-activist who inhabits a space between male and female with wit, style and astonishing candor.
The film does not have an official age rating, but we think it is suitable for people aged 16+.

We ask any young person under 16 who is planning to come to the screening without a parent or guardian to get in touch in advance so we can make sure they are safe in the space.
