*****QUEER THURSDAYS IN COLLAB WITH TRANS FEST STHLM: FREE AND OPEN FOR ALL*****
TO BECOME SORROW:
CONTEMPORARY TRANS SHORT FILMS
In collaboration with Trans Fest Stockholm, we invite you to an evening of contemporary trans short films. The pieces we have chosen for you range from documentary to art to fiction, and highlight an experience of trans queerness in our time.
In the age we live, an age formed and ruled by identity politics, how can we rise above and fly into the night as the non-identifiable creatures we’ve struggled to become?
Through love, sorrow and ocean, let’s get together on one of the last summer nights this year, and celebrate transformations.
PROGRAM
“Cosmos” (Sybille Bauer-Zierfuß, 12min, 2023) COSMO(S) is a declaration of love to the often bitter lessons of the past and the people who are a new, safe home to us. The marriage vows of the filmmaker Sybille to her partner and protagonist of the film Cosmo were turned into a portrait of their queer relationship.
“Scaffold” (Billy Klotsa) Fragments of bereavement and collapsing love appear in an isolated house between the land and the sea. Death arrives. The landscape shivers. What holds us close in moments of rupture?
“MAN” (Maja Ray Borg, 12min, 2016) MAN is an expansion of gender and language, a journey of physical transformation through the wilderness of pregnancy echoed by the sole remaining recording of Virginia Woolf’s voice.
“Pieces of Earth we Eat” (Lu Yim, 9min, 2023) Pieces of Earth We Eat is a performance adapted for film. Filmed in a closed theater in Portland, Oregon, an all transgender cast chants their speculative spells and recites utopic feelings, in an attempt to wage care and grief against the disaster and crisis of now.
“Vapor Trails” (”Willow Skye Biggs,” 11min, 2023) In 1997 amidst the backdrop of distant violence two displaced women seek transcendence through connection.
“Om att vara sorg” (Vigo Roth Jinde, 27min, 2024) A hybrid film that explores how the collective sadness and happiness of the trans community is manifested within the community and in caring relationships. Through interviews, art sequences and documentary footage, a story is woven about sharing grief and happiness in close relationships and in the collective space.
