Enigma: Film
Screening and Walk

Enigma (2025) is a free screening at Crosby Library marking Transgender Day of Remembrance, presented by Sefton Libraries as part of Homotopia festival 2026. Zachary Drucker’s film explores the legacy of April Ashley alongside the life of Amanda Lear. An introduction pays tribute to transgender people killed as a result of violence, and short clips from Tim Brunsden’s video archive of April, digitised as part of the Playback @re_docknw project, are also shown. The event is supported by Sefton’s Rainbow network. After the film, attendees walk to Ford Cemetery in Litherland to pay respects at April Ashley’s grave; the walk takes approximately 35 minutes and covers about 1.5 miles, mostly on flat ground. Enigma is presented courtesy of HBO. Doors open at 12:30pm, the film runs from 1:00pm to 2:30pm, and the walk runs from 2:45pm to 4:00pm. Tickets are free but limited and can be reserved in advance.
