Double Feature: presented by Cinema Arts Centre Committee for Gender Awareness & Empowerment

GLEN OR GLENDA & BREAK THE GAME

Wednesday, November 12th at 7 PM
With Zoom Q&A with director Jane Wagner & a post-film discussion
$18 Public | $11 Members
Join us for a double feature, and thematic discussion of two films, made seventy years apart, exploring trans identity on screen. From Ed Wood’s groundbreaking 1950s vision to a contemporary story of resilience in the digital age.

GLEN OR GLENDA

An iconic piece of LGBT film history, Ed Wood’s directorial debut is an astonishingly sympathetic look at crossing dressing in the early 1950s. Thoughtful and surreal, Glen or Glenda utilizes a unique narrative style to relay the dual stories of a crossdresser, Glen, and Alan, an intersex person preparing to undergo reassignment surgery. (USA, 1953, 65 mins, PG, English | Dir. Ed Wood)

BREAK THE GAME
Released 70 years later, Break the Game follows world-record-holding gamer Narcissa Wright, who loses her massive fanbase after coming out as trans. To win them back, she sets out to break a new record in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. (USA, 2023, 73 mins, English | Dir. Jane Wagner)

After the films, a panel of community members will compare and contrast the films and how each film speaks to its time — and what they might say to us today.

Massapequa Meet & Greet

Come out and meet like-minded Massapequa residents over coffee and doughnuts in a safe, accepting environment. Teens and kids are welcome. If you are able, please bring a non-perishable food donation to help our neighbors in this difficult time. Please RSVP via our “Contact Us” form for location details.
