Info: The Transgender Media Portal is a SSHRC-funded project operating through Carleton University that endeavours to create a collaborative online database of trans, Two Spirit, nonbinary, intersex, and gender-nonconforming filmmakers and their works. This screening serves as an opportunity to enjoy a sample of those works and to interact with others who share an interest in trans cinema. The event will begin with a brief introduction by project leader Dr. Laura Horak and research assistant Noah Rodomar, followed by the screenings, and then conclude with an open discussion or reception where guests can share their thoughts and learn more about the project.
Content Warning: This program includes transphobic violence, brief nudity, mild sexual content, and mentions of suicide. Please reach out to transgendermediaportal@gmail.com if you require any further information about these warnings.
