The award-winning documentary KEYBOARD FANTASIES will be preceded by two wonderful shorts - THE GENDER LINE and TRANS 128. Access to this selection will be available from October 10 at 6:00pm until October 13 at 11:45pm. And stick around at the end for a wonderful Q&A with director Posy Dixon!
KEYBOARD FANTASIES Synopsis: As a sci-fi obsessed woman living in near isolation, Beverly Glenn-Copeland wrote and self-released Keyboard Fantasies in Huntsville, Ontario back in 1986. Recorded in an Atari-powered home studio, the cassette featured seven tracks of a curious folk-electronica hybrid, a sound realized far before its time.
Three decades on the musician – now Glenn Copeland – began to receive emails from people across the world, thanking him for the music they’d recently discovered. Courtesy of a rare-record collector in Japan, a reissue of Keyboard Fantasies and subsequent plays by FourTet, Caribou and more, the music had finally found its audience two generations down the line.
KEYBOARD FANTASIES: THE BEVERLY GLENN-COPELAND STORY sees the protagonist commit his life and music to screen for the first time - an intimate coming of age story spinning pain and the suffering of prejudice into rhythm, hope and joy. (Only available via virtual screenings.)
