This eclectic selection, featuring both fact and fiction film, is a testament to the heterogeneity of trans lives and a celebration of resilience in the face of oppression.

The film will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Jacob Engelberg and featuring Fox Fisher, Ugla Stefanía Kristjönudóttir Jónsdóttir, and more to be confirmed.
