A film exploring the lives of three non-binary or transgender men who work at the New Marilyn Club in Tokyo, Japan.About this Event
Dykeumentary Night is a monthly lesbian movie night in Toronto. This month's film is Shinjuku Boys.
OVERVIEW
This documentary from Kim Longinoto and Jano Williams (DREAM GIRLS), offers rich insight into gender and sexuality in Japan via a candid portrait of Kazuki, Tatsu, and Gaish, three trans masculine hosts working at the New Marilyn Club in Tokyo’s bustling Shinjuku district. As the film follows them at home and on the job, all three (who self-describe themselves as onabe) talk frankly about their lives, revealing their views on love, sex, sexual orientation, traditional relationships, and identity. Alternating with these illuminating interviews are fabulous sequences shot inside the club, a place patronized largely by heterosexual, cisgender women.
