Each night will feature short films with in-depth discussions with the filmmakers. Don't miss this intimate opportunity to connect directly with filmmakers. Equity and Education on Set: Trans Activism in Indie Filmmaking will feature two independently made short films from Trans filmmakers.

all the words but the one is a narrative drama that challenges assumptions about violence, accountability, & forgiveness. The story follows Maya as she goes to a dinner with her partner’s new boss. The dinner turns precarious when she realizes she’s also dining with someone from her past.

Under False Colors is a historical fiction about Frances Thompson, the first transgender woman to testify before the U.S. Congress in 1866, and the Free Black community that she belongs to.

Sowj Kudva and the filmmakers discuss the importance of equity on film sets and what that looks like for the Trans community with an open Q&A from the audience. 

The event is free to the public thanks to the sponsorships made by the LGBTQ Center of Durham and Duke Arts.
