From a Tina Turner-belting performer in Tonga to a London-based Drag King performance artist finding an admiring audience in Brooklyn, this collection of films explores themes of gender–both as repressive constructs and as pathways for finding true identity and expression. This Qfest 2017 program features short films “The Swan” by Daniel Chavez Ontiveros, “Manly Stanley Takes New York” by Shelby Coley, “Lady Eva” by Dean Hamer and Joe Wilson, and others.
