Shinjuku Boys | A Dykeumentary Night Screening

A film exploring the lives of three non-binary or transgender men who work at the New Marilyn Club in Tokyo, Japan. Dykeumentary Night is a monthly lesbian movie night in Toronto. This month's film is Shinjuku Boys. OVERVIEW This documentary from Kim Longinoto and Jano Williams (DREAM GIRLS), offers rich insight into gender and sexuality in Japan via a candid portrait of Kazuki, Tatsu, and Gaish, three trans masculine hosts working at the New Marilyn Club in Tokyo’s bustling Shinjuku district. As the film follows them at home and on the job, all three (who self-describe themselves as onabe) talk frankly about their lives, revealing their views on love, sex, sexual orientation, traditional relationships, and identity. Alternating with these illuminating interviews are fabulous sequences shot inside the club, a place patronized largely by heterosexual, cisgender women. • Chicago Film Festival, Silver Hugo • Houston Film Festival, Gold Prize • SF Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, Outstanding Documentary • London Film Festival • NY Lesbian and Gay Film Festival • Honolulu Lesbian and Gay Film Festival • Sydney Lesbian and Gay Film Festival • One Gallery, CA • Reykjavik Shorts&Docs Festival • OutFest Los Angeles Doors: 7:30 PM Screening: 8:00 PM
