A TRANS WITH A MOVIE CAMERA
Frances Arpaia
This film challenges traditional trans filmic representations, narrative film and documentaries, and serves as proof that cinema can use experimental forms to depict and examine trans identities. This cine-essay was created collaboratively between the director and other trans women expressing how that would like to be presented non-narratively on film.
