Dir. Sean Baker

Programmed by Julie

Language: English, Armenian
Runtime: 88 min
Format: 35mm

Sin-Dee-Rella (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) is back on the block after a 28 day jail sentence and she is bringing all the drama L.A. can handle to find her cheating pimp boyfriend. Inspired by the real life stories of LA’s sex tracks, Black trans sex workers Sin-Dee and Alexandra (Mya Taylor) offer a glimpse of what constant hustle looks like when you’re trying to survive on the fringes. Shot on just three iphone 5s’, Sean Baker’s Tangerine captures the depth and dimension of sisterhood with a raw humor that challenges our discomfort with what society refuses to look at, yet demands access to. Recently transferred to celluloid, 35mm print offers a new vibrancy to the story in a way, that Baker says, “It was always meant to be seen.”
