Transmasculinity is woefully underrepresented on screen, and like many of us, transmasculine folks in film don’t often get happy endings. In this shorts program, we see transmasculine representation both behind and in front of the camera, expressing creativity, growth, joy and reveling in bodily autonomy. This program is only a glimpse of the beauty and diversity of what transmasculinity can look like in cinema and a celebration of the transcendent joy of coming home into yourself.
