Before the film, Pride Photo’s Managing Director Zindzi Zwietering will offer an introduction.
Directed by Sally Potter, Orlando is a visually stunning adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s groundbreaking novel. It tells the story of the seemingly immortal Orlando (played by Tilda Swinton)—an epic journey through four centuries in search of love and freedom. Orlando begins life as a man and ends as a woman, exploring identity and transformation beyond the limits of time and gender.
From the royal court of Elizabeth I to the frozen River Thames, from an ambassador’s post in the Ottoman Empire to the constraints of the Victorian age, Orlando’s story unfolds as a lyrical and visually rich meditation on what it means to live authentically.
For both Sally Potter and Tilda Swinton, Orlando marked a defining moment in their international careers. The film remains a powerful, playful, and moving ode to self-expression and fluidity.
