Overview

Art House Theater Day is an annual program that brings a series of new and classic independent films to theaters across the country to celebrate the art house community and its commitment to preserving the power of cinematic storytelling and the theatrical experience. This year, we're showing a 10th anniversary screening of Sean Baker’s award-winning independent film TANGERINE.
‍Before the film, don't miss an exclusive recorded Q&A with Sean Baker & Samantha Quan!

‍TANGERINE is a bubbly, sassy slice of life that is part John Waters and part Duplass Brothers (who co-produced). Director Sean Baker's (ANORA) innovative production was filmed entirely on an iPhone 5s, which not only looks astounding, but allowed for unobtrusive, street-level intimacy. Tangerine is fierce and sweet, farcical and tender, and features fully realized transgender characters that are complex, real, and able to toss off classic dialogue that will be repeated for years

On Christmas Eve, transgender sex worker Sin-Dee Rella (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) meets her friend and fellow transgender sex worker Alexandra (Mya Taylor) at Donut Time. Once informed that her boyfriend and pimp, Chester, has been cheating on her with a white cisgender woman, Sin-Dee storms out to search the neighborhood.

Reviews

"Tangerine encompasses dizzying multitudes — it’s a neo-screwball chase flick with a dash of Rainer Werner Fassbinder — but mostly, movingly, it is a female-friendship movie about two people who each started life with an XY chromosome set."
– NEW YORK TIMES

"With a witty and efficient script by director Sean Baker and co-writer Chris Bergoch, Tangerine peels back the curtain on a fascinating Los Angeles microculture."
– LOS ANGELES TIMES

"A sneaky slice-of-life indie that comes on all casual and cinéma-verité in the early scenes, then slowly coalesces into a romantic comedy as intricately constructed as any door-slamming stage farce."
– SLATE

"A saturated picture that courses with the raw energy of found footage while still feeling artfully composed, a movie that punches with the skittering violence of dubstep but careens through L.A. with the unbridled freedom of bebop jazz."
– TIME OUT
