by Paloma Medina

We are delighted to start the Queer Film Series this Thursday (01/24) with an ingeniously unique movie: TANGERINE.

This screening will take place at the Graduate Student Commons at 7 PM. Snacks and beverages will be served.

This event is hosted by the Queer Ecology Research Cluster with support from the Graduate Student Commons and the Cantú Queer Center. More films will be shown every other Thursday starting this week. See attached program for more.

TANGERINE - (dir. Sean Baker, 88 min, 2015)
It’s Christmas Eve in Tinseltown and Sin-Dee is back on the block. Upon hearing that her pimp boyfriend hasn’t been faithful during the 28 days she was locked up, the sex worker and her best friend, Alexandra, embark on a mission to get to the bottom of the scandalous rumor. Their rip-roaring odyssey leads them through various subcultures of Los Angeles.
