    Against a Trans Narrative

    Jules ROSSKAM 2009 USA Documentary color 61min English Beta SP
    This documentary is a provocative and personal experimental documentary investigating dominant constructions of trans-masculine identity, gender, and the nature of community. The director sensitively frames the film through his own personal journey within the trans-masculine community, gender politics, and social self-identity. Blending fiction, nonfiction, and experimental film genres, this film employs a genre-busting combination of intimate diary footage, stylized dramatic scenes, spoken word performance, faux audition tapes, and roundtable interview footage to explore and initiate a dialogue between feminists, queers, and transfolk about the way we construct personal and historical narratives. Careful attention is paid to the ways generation, race, class, and culture impact our understandings of gender.
