In "Orlando" (1928), Virginia Woolf tells the story of a young man who ends up being a woman. Almost 100 years after the publication of the novel, which is now considered a key queer text, philosopher and trans activist Paul B. Preciado writes a cinematic letter to Woolf and calls out to her: "Your character has come true, the world is full of Orlandos today! In his film, he traces his own transformation and lets 25 other trans and non-binary people between the ages of 8 and 70 have their say. They all slip into the role of Orlando.
Paul B. Preciado (director & writer) is an author, curator and philosopher. Born in Spain in 1970, he now lives in Paris. He is considered one of the leading thinkers in the field of gender studies and body politics. His books are among the central contemporary texts on queer theory and art and trans/non-binary activism.
