17 Oct 202339 min
This is our interview with author and film-maker Michael V. Smith, before the Canadian premiere of his new intimate documentary The Floating Man, which unpacks his journey as a radical drag performer and genderqueer.
Inspired by Agnès Varda, The Floating Man is a unique blend of DIY documentary, road trip, performance art, and videopoem. In this intimate self-portrait by a self-described sissy, The Floating Man examines Michael's journey of discovering his gender.
The Floating Man is an uplifting and timely film about gender fluidity and the power of art to transform a life.
The Floating Man: Canadian Film Premiere on October 22, 2023, 6:30pm at UBC Robson
