Don't Cry For Me All You Drag Queens

"Don’t Cry For Me All You Drag Queens" pays homage to the legendary Mother Cavallucci by weaving together the present and past to provide a striking portrait of belonging and memory. Joseph “Josie” Cavallucci (aka Mother Cavallucci) is a legendary New Hope drag queen that would host annual wedding celebrations in the 70s and 80s that served as fundraisers and a community party. Poetically merging archival photographs and present day footage from a community drag show, the film sparks conversation about the modern day issues Mother Cavallucci revolutionized.


ESP: Don't Cry For Me All You Drag Queens rinde homenaje a la legendaria Madre Cavallucci entretejiendo el presente y el pasado para ofrecer un impactante retrato de pertenencia y memoria. Combinando poéticamente fotografías de archivo y metraje actual de un espectáculo drag comunitario, la película genera una conversación sobre los temas modernos que revolucionó la Madre Cavallucci.

"I Identify as Me" is an award-winning, character-based, experimental short film that highlights Trans, gender-diverse people and masculine-presenting women who are Black and Brown. Each character's intersectional experiences connect us with common themes of their gender expressions outside of social norms, self-exploration, and affirming their true selves. Characters shed light on the reality of violence that can be inflicted due to someone's race, gender, and sexuality. Despite these systematic and social challenges, the characters reaffirm that acceptance and self-love are the paths forward.
