Bursting with energy and style, Sean Baker's Tangerine is filled with humour and heart.
It's Christmas Eve in Los Angeles and Sin-Dee (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) is back on the block. Upon hearing that her pimp boyfriend hasn't been faithful during the 28 days she was locked up, the working girl and her best friend Alexandra (Mya Taylor) embark on a mission to get to the bottom of the scandalous rumour.
A real-time drama, shot on iPhones in downtown Los Angeles and featuring two transgender actresses in the lead roles, Tangerine is a dazzlingly distinctive film that defies expectation.
Tangerine screens in anticipation of the release of Sean Baker's Palme d'Or-winning Anora, screening at QFT as part of the London Film Festival on Sat 12 Oct, with a full release on Fri 1 Nov.
Sean Baker won the Palme d’Or at Cannes with this enthralling drama, featuring a star-making performance from Mikey Madison.
