(4-9:00p.m., Silverado, 308 SW 3rd, 21+, No cover!) cast of more than 100 transgender actors Try this synopsis on for size: an idyllic portrait o f formerly pro-Soviet sailors at the Kronstadt naval garrison who in 1921 rebelled against the fail ures o f the new Bolshevik state. Oh, and said based-on-historical-events re visioning features a film first— a cast o f more than 100 transgender actors. Not exactly a pitch for the latest mindless Kate Hudson rom-com, eh? M aggots and Men, an experimental narrative set in a mythologized, post revolutionary Russia, considers the Kronstadt Uprising with a twist o f gender anarchy. Film buffs will recall the storied Kronstadt sailors from the classic Battleship Potemkim , but for M &M , director Cary Croncnwett, working within the typically male environment o f a naval base, casts his (F T M ) actors “from a range o f masculine gender expressions,” in what challenges traditional roles and other binary constructs. It’s heady, rather curious stuff, but handled deftly, thanks to the presence o f agit-prop theater group Blue Blouse and a narration that guides viewers via fictionalized letters written by Stepan Fetrichenko, the leader o f the Provisional Revolutionary Committee. Through an imagined love story between Petrichqnko and another sailor, Maggots and Men puts a personal spin on a national crisis, and documents the rapidly evolving transgender community in the process. And if all o f that gender-bending revisionist history has your head spin ning, filmmaker Cronenwett and actor Sergey Yashenko will be in atten dance at the June 9 Hollywood Theatre screening to answer those “W hat were you thinking, anyway?” queries.
