‘Check It’ is a powerful and somewhat shocking new documentary about a ‘gang’ of gay and transgender kids in one of Washington DC’s most notoriously tough neighborhoods who collectively decide to fight back against all the physical and mental abuse that is heaped on them as they strive to simply survive. A couple of adult activists offer them a glimmer of hope for a better future. Directed by Dana Flor and Toby Oppenheimer, the movie is being shown as part of Provincetown International Film Festival #PIFF16 and is reviewed here by queerguru for PTV.
25 years ago when Madonna embarked on her Blonde Ambition World Tour she took with a troupe of fabulous male dancers who added this whole tier of sensuality and extreme style to the show. Now the ‘boys’ in their mid 40’s look back at one of the very best years of their lives in this wonderful new documentary Strike A Pose.
This documentary is the story of Bindle and Keep a small tailoring company in New York who are part of whole new growing breed of clothiers who cater specifically for the transgender community. It is a joyful tale of how having the opportunity to having non-gender specific custom-made clothing so impacts peoples lives. Directed by newbie filmmaker Jason Benjamin and produced by Lena Dunham, it is one of several transgender movies showing in Provincetown Film Festival.
