Trans Film Night (Paris is Burning and Framing Agnes)

With all the hate being directed at trans people, we thought that we needed to push back.

Paris is Burning is a chronicle of New York's drag scene in the 1980s, focusing on balls, voguing and the ambitions and dreams of those who gave the era its warmth and vitality. It won 17 awards, including Sundance Film Festival best documentary.

Framing Agnes turns the talk show format inside out in response to media's ongoing fascination with trans people. The film breathes life into six previously unknown stories from the archives of the UCLA Gender Clinic in the 1950s. Winner of 5 awards, including Sundance Film Audience Award.
