Frameline 2025 - We Are Pat and I Was Born This Way
Manage episode 490829236 series 49871
Today we're bringing you two documentaries that celebrate the spirit of the Frameline Film Festival.
We Are Pat explores gender identity and comedy through the lens of the SNL skit It's Pat, as explored by trans and non binary comedians and writers. Director Rowan Haber joins us to discuss the many different (and surprising) reactions to It's Pat within the queer community, behind the scenes info on their first meeting with actor Julia Sweeney, and their thoughts on whether or not Pat is fuckable.
I Was Born This Way tells the story of gay gospel singer Carl Bean's extraordinary life, from his tough childhood and success in the music industry, to his founding of the Minority AIDS Project (the first to advocate for the care and education of Black and brown people with AIDS) and the Unity Fellowship Church (preaching acceptance and healing to his community). Returning guest and co-director Sam Pollard and producer Wellington Love join us to discuss how the church and being gay can coexist, why Carl's story is so important to share in this moment, and their pride in the fact that audiences are leaving the theater feeling connected and uplifted.
