Madame Satã (Karim Aïnouz, 2002, 35mm, 105 mins)
Based on the true story of a drag queen, folk hero, and small-time gangster who rose to cabaret stardom in 1930s Brazil, this gritty drama “doesn’t glorify dos Santos but examines the hot, reckless fever of his life in all its thorny complexity” (Edward Guthmann). “It’s a vivid, emotionally charged snapshot that makes no apologies or excuses” (Chris Vognar). In Portuguese with English subtitles. 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.
What are the chances that two transmasculine people living under the same roof would be diagnosed with “lady cancer” in the same month—one with breast cancer and the other with ovarian cancer?
Join filmmakers Yee Won Chong and Brooks Nelson for a public screening of Trans Dudes with Lady Cancer, followed by a panel discussion. This courageous short film documents the personal journey of the filmmakers, their family, and their community as they navigate a medical system that is scrambling to figure out how to provide affirming care for transgender people.

Take Me As I Am: Redemption And Grace for the Discarded Is an art exhibit premiering new mixed media works detailing the fight to preserve Houston’s historic Third Ward neighborhood by contemporary Southern artist Lance Flowers. The title “Take Me As I Am,” is a reference to the hymn from the late 19th century. The title is also a spot on description of Flowers’ artistic practice. His process leads him to seek out and repurpose found materials once deemed trash or an “eyesore” to tell vivid allegories steeped in Southern tradition.
