CGiii Comment

The blurb makes it sound way better than it is.

Silly gimmicks, dreadful music, atrocious 'cinematography'...a kindergarten kid could do so much better.

The(ir) Blurb...

Cinematic trans representation is something that's been limited mainly to narrative fiction and documentary. What's been lacking is a push to explore how cinema as a tool can be used to depict and examine trans identities. A Trans with a Movie Camera is a non-narrative essay film built from super 8 footage, collaboratively created by interviewing trans women about how they would like to be represented non-narratively on film.
