7:30pm @ Hollywood Theater – The Secret Diaries of Anne Lister
Known as the “the first modern lesbian” Anne Lister was a wealthy and scandalous heiress and traveler in 19th century England who kept scintillating diaries of her female conquests as well as the loss of her one true love.
Hidden behind a wall in the family mansion for over a hundred years this encrypted, four-million-word diary was uncovered in the 1980s and took 6 years to decode. In true British form, the BBC takes these descriptive passages such as, “Yet my manners are certainly peculiar, not all masculine but rather softly gentleman-like. I know how to please girls,” and turn them in a sexy, silly, and dramatic screen rendition not unlike Tipping the Velvet.
