Queer Cinema: Lost & Found

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

A young trans poet struggles to find a place for himself in society after a repressive upbringing in a girl’s orphanage in this critically acclaimed biopic of Brazilian poet Anderson Bigode Herzer. One of the earliest films to center around a transmasculine character, Sérgio Toledo’s VERA is an essential, yet sadly underseen, piece of trans cinema history.
