TG Film Fest, presented by the Trans/Giving arts collective, features films by trans, genderqueer, and intersex filmmakers, a DJ, live performances, and art for sale. The TG Film Fest, LA's transgender film festival, showcases entertaining, poignant, and intriguing visions from the queerest part of the LGBT spectrum. From food to dating to bathrooms the festival promises affirmation and surprises for everyone. TG Film Fest is the only event in LA dedicated to the work of established and emerging trans filmmakers. Join us August 28th in Hollywood.
The second film screening, at 1:30 pm on August 28th, boasts two films by Jewish filmmakers, and a documentary about a trans Jewish artist, Claude Cahun. Zsa Zsa Gershick's Door Prize won for Best Short at the 2010 Kansas City Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. Kalil Cohen's The Next Gender Nation is a documentary short about the experiences of gender variant youth in Los Angeles public schools.
