About this event
JOIN US FOR FOR THE LAUNCH OF THIS INCREDIBLE HISTORY OF THE GAY LIBERATION FRONT’S TRANSSEXUAL, TRANSVESTITE AND DRAG QUEEN GROUP, FROM TGIRLSONFILM Come for the launch of the third bumper edition of “Tranny Central”, with new archival goodies and newly commissioned articles. In Tranny Central, TGirlsonFilm summons the spirits of our radical trans-sisters of the Gay Liberation Front. Take a trip back to the suffocating howl of seventies London and bask in the hash hazed memories of Rachel Pollack’s flat. The US had the Compton Cafeteria and Stonewall Riots: how did London’s premiere transvestite and transsexuals react to the bubbling queer rebellion? Often dismissed and erased, it’s time to know the history. Get in your glad rags, grab your slap, and head straight to Tranny Central girl!

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar talks still playing in London this week.
This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other London rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (talks) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
