"Playful but challenging, moving and meticulous, this is a film that sees pigeonholes as something we should all fly away from." - Amber Wilkinson, Screen International

"Part of Orlando’s charm is its experimental style. It’s witty and sardonic, but also indulges in poetic language, refracting familiar experiences into visceral scenes." - Lovia Gyarkye, The Hollywood Reporter

Hailed as “the first trans masterpiece” by the legendary queer scholar B. Ruby Rich, the debut feature by theorist, writer and curator Paul B. Preciado is a singular and joyous exploration of trans identity, past and present. Drawing on Virginia Woolf’s classic 1928 novel Orlando, Preciado uses the text as a lens through which to explore his own biography, as well as the collective trans experience. In a series of playfully staged vignettes, a cast of 26 Orlandos, played by trans and non-binary performers, recite passages from the novel interwoven with their own personal stories. The result is an exuberant, erudite and uncategorisable gem of a film.
