Turning

"Turning" is a documentary film that delves into the powerful and emotional performance of Antony and the Johnsons' European tour in 2006. The film focuses on 13 women who joined the band on stage, each rotating slowly on a turntable platform as their faces are projected onto a screen behind the band. Through candid shots and playful banter, the film captures the essence of these women's personalities and their connection to the music. The concert culminates with a video projection of late trans activist Marsha P. Johnson, the band's namesake. The film is a poignant exploration of identity, humanity, and the yearning to belong, set to the haunting melodies of Antony and the Johnsons.
