A Trans Day of Visibility special screening, presented in partnership with A Gender Agenda
When Owen’s classmate introduces him to the mysterious late-night TV show, The Pink Opaque, reality and the supernatural quickly collide. After Maddy (Jack Haven) and Owen (Justice Smith) bond over the show, their lives take different, but equally unnerving paths.
Drawing on her own experience, writer-director Jane Schoenbrun described I Saw the TV Glow as an allegory for the “egg-crack moment,” a moment of identity realisation commonly referenced by trans and gender diverse communities.
“Such an original and disturbing and haunting and creatively outrageous piece of work that it refuses to drift from your conscience.” – Chicago Sun-Times
