BY HOOK OR BY CROOK
By Silas Howard and Harry Dodge
(USA | 2001 | 1h15 | English subtitles)
Starring Silas Howard, Harry Dodge, Stanya Kahn, Carina Gia.

Shy, a trans man from a small town, heads to the big city with the ambition of becoming an outlaw. Along the way, he meets Valentine, an eccentric adoptive mother searching for her biological mother. Between these two wounded souls, an immediate connection forms: becoming partners in crime, they roam together a raw, poetic, and uncompromising city.

A landmark and pioneering work of independent trans cinema in the 2000s, By Hook or by Crook captivates with its DIY energy, its liberated freedom of tone and the sincerity of its marginal friendship.

💬 The screening will be followed by a discussion.

Full price: €7.50 | Reduced price: €6.50 | Students & under 26: €4
Accepted cards: UGC Unlimited, CinéPass Pathé and CIP (Cinémas Indépendants Parisiens).

Event held with the support of the Department of Seine-Saint-Denis and in association with the Transmission collective.
