THE EXPERIENCE
Join Lesbian Cinema Club for 2001’s By Hook or by Crook—a buddy film that chronicles three weeks in the life of a handsome, gender-bending, small-town butch with a nagging messiah complex.
ON SCREEN: By Hook or by Crook
2001. Directed by Harry Dodge, Silas Howard. Runtime 1hr 38min. Not Rated.
Shy is a transgender man who leaves his small town after the death of his father and heads to the big city to live a life of crime. Along the way, he encounters Valentine, a quirky adoptee, in search of his birth mother. An immediate kinship is sparked between these men, and they become partners in crime.
ON STAGE: Lesbian Cinema Club
Lesbian Cinema Club is a Portland local screening series and gathering that started in the summer of 2025 as a top surgery fundraiser for lead organizer and programmer, Noname. The series started in a backyard with a few friends with a simple goal to watch and learn about Lesbian artists and filmmakers while fundraising for gender affirming care. The series quickly became a large community gathering for local queer and lesbian film-lovers.
