Dmitri Barcomi & Vice Squad

The truth is even queerer than fiction.

In the 1975 blockbuster film Dog Day Afternoon, a bank robber portrayed by Al Pacino attempts a heist to pay for his trans wife’s surgery. Overlooked trans icon Elizabeth Eden sought to set the record gay by writing her own memoir denouncing those who exploited her and sharing a firsthand account of the life of a trans woman in Stonewall-era New York City. Sharing Liz’s story for the first time, Doll Day Afternoon is conceived and directed by Dmitri Barcomi and presented by Vice Squad, an award winning international artist collective that draws inspiration from unusual source materials and shared queer history.
