Interview: Docu-porn, transfeminism and cafe parties at London film fest

Why did you decide to create a transgender film festival in the first place?

As a filmmaker I feel a strong need for more trans screen culture in London.

I want to support and encourage independent transgender filmmaking, so putting on a Transgender Film Festival seems like the best way to do that.

Self expression is vital for all of us, I learn so much from other people's stories and life experiences from all over the world.

Film festivals educate and bring social awareness to a wider audience, they breakdown isolation, they help people feel connected with the whole world again.
