The UO Center for Student Involvement's Intersectional Events Team is partnering with the LGBTESS and Cinema Studies Program to present the award-winning film, Tangerine.  Following the screening, Producer Darren Dean will facilitate a talk-back about the importance of this film.

This film made a huge impact this past year as it was a major film that featured two trans actresses of color, was shot completely on an iPhone, and made a major run for Oscar recognition. Following the screening, producer Darren Dean will facilitate a talk-back about the importance of this film.  For more information, please visit the UO Event Calendar.
