Chase Joynt is a non-fiction filmmaker and writer who works at the edges of genre. His documentary feature, Framing Agnes, was named a Best Movie of the Year by The New Yorker after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival where it won the NEXT Innovator Award and the NEXT Audience Award.
We are joined by director Chase Joynt (Framing Agnes, No Ordinary Man) for a discussion of trends in Trans cinema. In recent years, the world has seen an outpouring of innovative, formally inventive, and emotionally compelling Trans films.
While traditional Trans narratives still have a place, the films of the Trans New Wave are being made for and by Trans people, and look past explainers and transitions to explore in full the complexity of Trans lives on screen.
