Orlando, My Political Biography (2023)
Blending Virginia Woolf’s literary fantasy with urgent contemporary reality, *Orlando, My Political Biography* is a radical, playful manifesto for trans and non-binary existence. Director Paul B. Preciado doesn’t just adapt a novel; he stages a collective autobiography, casting over twenty trans and non-binary individuals as Orlando to argue that Woolf’s character was never fiction—but prophecy. This isn’t a standard period drama; it’s a witty, philosophical, and deeply moving essay-film that reclaims history. Appealing to cinephiles, activists, and anyone curious about identity, it turns a 1928 novel into a vibrant, defiant celebration of living beyond the binary.
