98 Mins | FranceDedicated to her lover and fellow writer Vita Sackville-West, Virginia Woolf’s exhilarating novel Orlando: A Biography, published in 1928, depicts with satirical wit the life of an English aristocrat who falls into a deep, fairy-tale-like slumber for days only to awaken as a woman who goes on to live for hundreds of years. This remarkable transition (depicted by Tilda Swinton in Sally Potter’s film adaptation) inspires filmmaker Paul B. Preciado’s gender euphoric, Teddy Award-winning cinematic essay. Preciado springboards off of Woolf’s unbridled imagination, feminist fire and rigorous writing process to gift us with an immensely generous love letter to not only their own transition, but also that of many fabulous Orlandos who inhabit Woolf’s creative spirit through their own stories with gleeful joie de vivre.
