For all you QUEERGURU peeps in Canada, there is a real treat coming your way that will have you making tracks to Montreal. To the city’s BBRAM! Gallery where they are hosting a premiere of the award-winning documentary, Keyboard Fantasies on their giant 12ft x 9ft screen. The film by Posy Dixon tells the story of Beverly Glenn-Copeland, a black transgender septuagenarian (and musical genius) who finally finds his place in the world.
The story starts in 2016 when Glenn receives an unexpected email from a record collector in Japan enquiring about copies of his 1986 self-release, Keyboard Fantasies. It leads to Glenn’s emergence from obscurity and then what transpires is an intimate coming-of-age story that spins the pain and suffering of prejudice into hope. Watching the charismatic Glenn’s journey is such a joy to witness and one that deserves to be shared.
