Film screening: PINK LIGHT
February 4 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
University of Toronto students, staff, faculty, and librarians are invited to join the Sexual & Gender Diversity Office and the Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education for a screening of the short film, Pink Light, followed by a panel discussion with the film’s creator Harrison Browne, and a goaltender for the Toronto Sceptres of the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), Carly “CJ” Jackson. The film’s runtime is approximately 11 minutes.
Film Synopsis
In Pink Light, Scott, a transman and ex pro hockey player, is needlessly injured during a beer league game. Frustrated and in a daze, he experiences a flashback to his pre-transitioned self in college. The film continues to follow Scott at two moments in his life: as a 20-year-old, pre-transitioned and navigating college, and a 30-year-old trying to reconnect with the sport he gave up to physically transition.
