Film Club: Lavender Men (G, 1hr 42min, 2025)
An elaborate queer historical fantasia.
SYNOPSIS
A boldly imaginative drama follows Taffeta , a Black, non‑binary queer stage manager who, after a humiliating incident at work, escapes into a vivid fantasy where Abraham Lincoln shares a secret romance with fictional companion Elmer . As the imagined affair plays out on an abstract stage, Taffeta grapples with their own buried desires and isolation, blurring the lines between history, identity, and performance.
