Finally watched the first part of CASTRATION MOVIE ANTHOLOGY I: TRAPS (it's 4 hours! What is this, a Star Wars Hotel review?) and I didn't really know what to expect but it's pretty much exactly my kind of thing

"It's a little bit uncinematic, but I think that's what draws me towards doing it" - Louise Weard on Castration Movie www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/feature/2026... #BFIflare

Nine trans women, all but one of whom are wearing identical tracksuits, engage in a group discussion in a basement room lit by soft pink-tinted light.

Here's an interview I did out of Flare with Louise Weard about the complexities of trans issues and having difficult conversations around gender, and her glorious sprawling epic 'Castration Movie' www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/feature/2026...

Trans day of buy some of my pottery i guess

I'll also state on TDOV that beginning tomorrow you can watch a series of films directed by trans people on the Criterion channel. We programmed this series with love and with hope.

I never know what to do or say on TDOV. I feel far too visible lately, but there are positive things that come with that sometimes. We wrote a book. It's steeped in trans history & tells our story in cinema dating back to the silent era and up to the current moment. People seem to like it.

I am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️

Boundary-breaking filmmakers reclaim their stories with these richly varied looks at the trans experience. Long misrepresented on-screen through disreputable and actively harmful images, trans characters have come into focus thanks to a pioneering generation of trans directors determined to capture their lives with nuance and hard-won insight. Curated by Caden Mark Gardner and Willow Catelyn Maclay, authors of the book Corpses, Fools, and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema, these revealing counterhistories of cultural trailblazers (Rupert Remembers, No Ordinary Man), intersectional portraits of everyday survival (Drunktown’s Finest, Lingua Franca), and bold explorations of identity in the online age (We’re All Going to the World’s Fair, Castration Movie Anthology i. Traps) show that there is no single, common trans film image but rather a kaleidoscope of voices, forms, and lived realities. FEATURES: Maggots and Men (2009), Drunktown’s Finest (2014), So Pretty (2019), Lingua Franca (2019), No Ordinary Man (2020), We’re All Going To The World’s Fair (2021), Dog Movie (2023), Castration Movie Anthology i. Traps (2024), Queens of Drama (2024) SHORTS: Gender Troublemakers (1993), Rupert Remembers (2000)

Full details of our Trans Filmmakers program on the Criterion Channel can be found below. We're very excited to bring these movies to a wider audience and we hope that everyone has a good time with this series.
