Trans Genre, Trans Form: Short film and transness in 2020s
TheTrans Genre, Trans Formsymposium and film festival explores genre in films by trans and non-binary filmmakers in the 2020s.
While trans representations in the 2010s required trans people to be hyper visible and legible, educating others on trans experience, the effect of these prior representations has allowed trans filmmakers in the 2020s to explore other factors.
Genre and film form are used by trans filmmakers in the 2020s to approach trans existence complexly and with a deeper and more elaborate, lived understanding at the base level. Exploring genre and form then allows for trans people to critique and create new forms of representation.
The festival includes films by international filmmakers and explores all genres, including films where genre is deconstructed and used playfully.
Horror, comedy, video essays, documentaries, drama and fantasy are all available in individually programmed sessions throughout the day.
Films will be supported with discussion on genre from the filmmakers.
There will also be a Q&A with symposium organiser, postgraduate researcher and filmmaker Sammy Holden.
