SUMMARY:Sqifflix: Gender Revealing
DESCRIPTION:Click here to access the full programme. \nIn our programme Gender Revealing filmmakers and characters play with and question gender norms and expectations. A genderqueer AFAB person experiments with male-pattern baldness\, Exa Zim narrates their life growing up trans\, ‘faux’ drag queens Sergina and Venus Dimilo strut their stuff\, and trans and genderless bodies float and move in unusual ways. \nAll films have English language subtitles or captions. See notes for below for each film’s language/s\, level of accessibility for blind and partially sighted people\, age recommendation\, content notes\, and if the film contains flashing lights or sound levels that might be disturbing for some. These notes are also found on each film’s page on vimeo. \nThe films are all free to watch with thanks to the filmmakers.
