Join us for the Victorian premiere of I’m Your Venus (2024), a powerful documentary that revisits the life and legacy of trans icon Venus Xtravaganza (Paris is Burning).

But before the film’s release, she was murdered and her killer was never found. I’M YOUR VENUS picks up the story of a trail gone cold as her two families –
biological and ballroom – come together to seek answers and celebrate her legacy.

This documentary arrives at a time of growing transphobia in the U.S. and globally. We screen it to resist erasure, honour Venus, and affirm that trans lives are sacred.
