Charis goes to the MOVIES!

We’re so excited to be hosting back-to-back programming at the Plaza Theatre (@plazaatlanta) on Wednesday, October 28th and Thursday, October 29th. ⁠ ⁠ On 10/28, come experience the beautiful 4k restoration of trans cinema classic BY HOOK OR BY CROOK and a discussion with filmmaker Harry Dodge (@mysterious_fires) – pictured here along with co-director Silas Howard (@silash) in Chloe Sherman’s (@chloedsherman) iconic photobook Renegades: San Francisco, the 1990s!⁠ ⁠ Groundbreaking when it was made and still fiercely innovative today, BY HOOK OR BY CROOK is a trans and butch buddy film that chronicles three weeks in the life of Shy, a handsome, gender-bending, small town dreamer with a nagging messiah complex. Emotionally defeated after the death of his father, Shy heads to the big city to sink himself into a "life of crime." He is quickly distracted by Valentine, a deliriously expressive, wise-acre adoptee on a misguided search for her birth mother. ⁠ ⁠ The two freaky grifters join forces and learn the true meaning of "poise under pressure" in this visually stunning and wonderfully acted, anti-authoritarian tale of friendship, trust and redemption (@alteredinnocence) (@lavenderlensatl) (@videodromeatl).⁠ ⁠ Come back the next night (10/29) for Harry Dodge in conversation with filmmaker and author Jane Schoenbrun (@janedoesnotknow), whose debut novel Public Access Afterworld comes out on 10/27!⁠ ⁠ After joining us for the conversation about Public Access Afterworld, head out to the lobby, grab some popcorn, and get a ticket for a late night screening of Schoenbrun's latest film, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma.⁠ ⁠ So much to look forward to!!
