Matrix director outs her newself
Posted by Anonymous on 31/07/2012 at 4:34 amHi all
Saw this on Same Same’s websitehttp://www.samesame.com.au/news/international/8730/Matrix-director-outs-her-new-self.htm
Nice to see her gender ID isn’t central to the story here
Cheers

Thanks so much for the link Sarah,
What a fun video the three directors made in introducing the trailer. Tom Twyker and the Wachowski siblings [no longer brothers
].
Interesting that the plot of the movie involves not only gender swapping by the actors, but also race, age and character swapping as well. As Andy Wachowski says, Why keep genres separate.Why keep genders separate.
Interesting to read the comments below the trailer as a cross-section of responses to the movie itself and Lana’s new public image (there were 7 coments when I read them).
hugs Cali

Continuing on from Sarah and Cali’s comments, I’ve copied below two links. The first is to a speech made by Lana Wachowski recently in San Francisco when the Human Rights Campaign announced that she was the recipient of their “Visibility Award”. I imagine that many of you will have seen this youtube clip already, however I have to admit that I don’t think that I will ever tire of Lana’s message and her exquisite communication skills…

And for those of you who are interested, the second link is to a sequele from the same HRC event – Bishop Gene Robinson thanking Lana for letting people know who she really is:

Seems like the world really is changing around us!
