FREE EVENT - No Drama! - Reading Trans representation on screen and other film making crimes, an illustrated panel event.

On Wednesday Nov 20 VFDalston will be hosting a shadey look at the history of Trans representation on the big screen, how Hollywood and indie film makers have portrayed trans characters, and our fabulous panel of industry experts will discuss the good and the (often) bad examples.

The talk will be proceeded by a 45 minute montage of clips from films highlighting the ground breakingly great, the jaw droppingly awful and the downright offensive.

We will task our panel with creating a Manifesto of demands for future film makers to consult.

Then we will open up for questions and statements from the audience.

As well as in person tickets, we will be hosting the evening online, so you can sign up for an IRL ticket or a streaming link.

The venue will be The Outsiders Gallery at VFDalston, No64 Stoke Newington Road.

The space is fully accessible with a small ramp at the front door from the high street, and a newly installed wheelchair user designed bathroom.

Our panelists include Jaye Hudson (she/her) (TGirls on Film), Rue Lumbroso (she/her) Transmissions, Tara Brown (they/them) Fringe! Queer Film & Arts Festival, Molly Miles (they/them) Catagory H horror club and Trans Buffet, plus more TBC
