DJ-Set after the screening with Edna Martinez
Sally Potter’s queer classic is an extravagant restaging of Virginia Woolf’s novel of the same name, in which a nobleman doesn’t die but rather becomes a woman across several centuries. Tilda Swinton stars as Orlando with a notable cameo by Quentin Crisp as Queen Elizabeth I. Potter co-wrote the rich score that nearly dominates the film, guiding us through time.
