Butch Mystique Film Screening

The L-Project is proud to present the screening of the award winning documentary “Butch Mystique” a film by Debra A. Wilson

Butch Mystique exposes the rules, thoughts, passions, and concerns of African-American butch-stud identified lesbians. Women from varying backgrounds – mothers, activists, artists – share raw, powerful and intimate thoughts on being outside the norm, being powerful butch identified women, and being themselves.

A portion of the funds raised from this screening will be granted to the film makers for the current production of Where are they now: Beyond The Butch Mystique

Beyond The Butch Mystique is a feature documentary that revisits the Butch identified black lesbians who appeared in the 2003 award winning short film Butch Mystique. This new film will explore the changes in their lives over the years, with a look back at them from the original film, and how they now move through the world, particularly within the context of the growing gender identity movement.
