SQIFF Shorts Trans Pride

Trans representation in mainstream cinema remains poor but happily there’s a rich output of short filmmaking with authentic takes on trans, non-binary, genderqueer, and two-spirit identities. We showcase dramas, experimental documentaries, and animation in this selection covering themes including coming out to parents, dealing with mental health problems, finding love, and the specifics of trans and two-spirit identities for people of colour and indigenous people.

Content note: brief depiction of transphobic violence and mention of suicidal feelings.

ACCESS: Level access at entrance with lift up to first floor for Theatre space. Accessible toilets on first floor (CCA). Film screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access.
