Episode description
Christian Zyp interviews Dave Rodden Short (dir/screenwriter) about his documentary THE EMPRESS OF VANCOUVER. You can see it as part of CUFF.Docs 2022 Sat Nov 26th @ 7:00 pm at the Globe CInema in Calgary.
THE EMPRESS OF VANCOUVER is a cinematic and intimate collision of drag, queer history, and performance art, that follows trans icon Oliv Howe as she prepares for the 40th anniversary of her coronation. A genre bending irreverent documentary that blends archival footage, musical elements and just the right amount of dark humour, THE EMPRESS OF VANCOUVER is a journey through the history of LGBTQ+ rights and recognition in Canada, and a loving tribute to those lost during the AIDS epidemic.
