MFF: My Prairie Home
Canada| 2013 | 77 MIN | DIR: Chelsea McMullan Friday, September 26 | 10:00 PM Landmark Oriental Sunday, September 28 | 10:00 PM Landmark Oriental Friday, October 03 | 4:30 PM Fox-Bay Simultaneously a look into the life of transgender singer-songwriter Rae Spoon (who uses the gender-neutral pronoun “they”) as well as a celebration of the categorization-defying music they create (fusing folk, country, indie rock, and electronica), "My Prairie Home" is a truly original portrait of a true original. We follow Rae as they travel across Canada on tour, revealing the evangelical upbringing and forbidden first love that marked their early life intermingled with playfully surreal music videos set at prom or among the dinosaurs in a natural history museum. This documentary is as unique and untraditional as the performer it aims to capture. THANKS TO OUR SUPPORTERS: COMMUNITY PARTNERS: FORGE, Inc. | Hours Against Hate | PrideFest
