forgotten archives of the trans masc experience: remembering the program
Tue Jan 18 2022
Genesis Cinema, London
Otherness Archive guest curated this program for London Short Film Festival 2022 at the invitation of TAPE Collective. It focused on how the practice of archiving trans masculine lives has been forgotten. The intention of the program hopefully generated ideas and thoughts on what a trans masc archive could look like. Accompanying the program were films featured below and words of lived experiences by Erik Shen and Ren Mars.
