What Will I Become? – Trans Day Of Remembrance Screening
Join LGBT Youth Scotland and SQIFF this Trans Day of Remembrance for a special evening of reflection led by the documentary What Will I Become? Then followed by open Q&A and audience discussion between Indigo Korres (SQIFF), Kit Adrian (Camp Trans Scotland), Nxa, and Ophelia Steele Davis (LGBTYS) where we explore the themes of the film in relation to the trans experience within the UK in 2026. This is a night for coming together, honouring those that we have lost and finding some healing as we start to look forward into the year ahead.
Synopsis for What Will I Become?:
Winner of the Amnesty International Film Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, What Will I Become? explores grief, mental health, trans boyhood, and other realities too often dealt with in isolation. Directors Lexie and Logan delve into their own personal experiences, intertwining the stories of two young trans men no longer here today. Homecoming king Blake Brockington and soft-spoken Kyler Prescott were poets, musicians, and community advocates. Together, we trace their joys and challenges, their tragic deaths, resulting media attention, and the larger aftermath within their communities. We also uplift resources that affirm trans boys and the LGBTQIA2S+ community to provide alternative forms of care, resilience, and masculinity.
What Will I Become? asks why the transmasculine community is particularly vulnerable to living briefly and dying quietly, and asks ultimately what will we become as a society?
