Glennda & Friends + Q&A
TGirlsonFilm & Spectra, Queer non-fiction presents a rare screening of Glenn Belverio’s groundbreaking 1990s queer cable television work—a bold blend of drag, direct action, and DIY media radicalism. This evening revisits the era of activist public-access television through a selection of Belverio’s iconic videos and a post-screening conversation with Glennda herself…Glenn Belverio.
We will be screening:
Followed by a Q&A with Glenn Belverio
Glenn Belverio is an independent film and video maker who lives and works in New York City. He started video activism as a member of Act Up and later began producing and co-hosting the popular Manhattan Cable series The Brenda and Glennda Show in 1990, a talk show that took the art of drag out of the nightclubs and into the streets, mixing politics with humour. In 1993, the series became Glennda and Friends, a post-queer talk show featuring provocative co-stars such as gay pornographer Bruce LaBruce and guerrilla scholar Camille Paglia.
