ORLANDO, Fla. — Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost’s (D-Fla.) MadSoul music festival was supposed to be a party for activists — a celebration of Central Florida’s progressive and queer community, in a hostile state. Frost wanted to show how far the community has come and its defiant rejection of Florida’s increasingly right-wing tilt, with a mix of music and community building featuring appearances from indie artists and progressive politicos, like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. But the festival would take an unexpected…

In the fall of 2021, filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun found themselves back in their hometown, walking the streets of Ardsley in Westchester County, New York, with a disposable camera in hand. They’d taken a day trip up from Brooklyn in the hopes of revisiting the places that had once defined their adolescence. A lot had changed since their teenage years. Now Schoenbrun was wandering through the town — “a classic American suburb, built to keep people sheltered from the real world,” they say with a laugh — as a trans and…
