An aspiring clown grappling with her gender identity combats a fascistic caped crusader.

is an ongoing, community focused screening series highlighting trans cinema. Our programming is temporally promiscuous and genre-expansive, inclusive of contemporary and repertory film and video art across a variety of forms and perspectives. You can expect to see narrative features, documentaries, experimental shorts, hybrid works, and otherwise unclassifiable cinematic objects as part of the series.

The goal of Trans Film / Trans Space is not merely to create an environment for passive viewing, but to foster a space for conversation and communal engagement with trans film, i.e., to create a trans space at the cinema. Screenings will include post-film discussions and other expanded programming that supports this goal.
