SQIFF18 DESIRES AND RESISTANCE | UNEARTHING TRANS LEGACIES

Anonymous sexual encounters and flirtations with the camera, dress-up with Flawless Sabrina, and a night at the Stonewall Inn with Marsha P. Johnson: this programme proposes alternative modes of retrieving and disseminating a trans past through an erotic gaze. Addressing an erasure of trans legacies, these works place trans* sexual expression and resistances in conversation with a non-linear idea of history that is both real and fabricated, defiantly looking toward a future of pleasure, play, and beauty.

Curated and presented by Finn Paul in partnership with Outfest LGBTQ Film Festival in LA.
