This short film program includes the following films:

Gender Reveal

CONTENT WARNING: Drug use, Blood
Rhys, a dedicated people pleaser, winds up at their boss’ gender reveal party with their two partners. The trans throuple soon realize that they are dealing with more than they were prepared for and their ability to survive the event comes into question

Notes on Nudes

A transgender comedy about getting off and the frustrations of Grindr.

I'm In Love With Edgar Allan Poe

CONTENT WARNING:
Two baby goths prepare to summon the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe, but a series of unexpected obstacles jeopardize the entire spooky spectacle, and maybe even their friendship.

Ballad of a Blood Moon

CONTENT WARNING:
In this arthouse fantasy, a non-binary queer wakes up to the surreal forces that are controlling their life. Should Wei fulfill their mother’s dying wish, even if they don’t agree with it?

Lesbian Jesus is Pregnant with Vibes

CONTENT WARNING:
A berserk 19-year-old TikToker (Liza Rose) is plucked off the internet, thrust onstage, and declared "Lesbian Jesus!". She travels the country by bus with her under-qualified Momager (Christine) and loving girlfriend Avery (who works the merch table and designed shirts that say "Eat Crotch!"). In a rollercoaster of an interview with the New York Times, we learn that Liza has been assaulted by the producer who discovered her. While she wants to out him, he contractually owns her (and her music). And if the article is published, Liza and her mom will lose everything and get sued for defamation. They navigate this reality in real-time (the 7 minutes before their bus leaves for Hartford).

The Princess and the Peacock

CONTENT WARNING:
Mona is a 22 year old trans girl from a small village in France. She puts needles attached to peacock feathers in her skin, under bright lights, late at night. She bleeds, half naked, in front of small crowds of people. Sometimes they faint whilst watching her. Why would she do this? How did she learn to do it? And why would someone want to watch?

BUST

CONTENT WARNING:
A trans girl cop with the NYPD goes undercover to make a drug bust.

IYKYK (if you know you know)

CONTENT WARNING: Transphobia
Bonita Rajpurohit stars, writes and directs this hard-hitting cinéma vérité style short about dating men as a transgender woman.

Holy Curse

CONTENT WARNING: Conversion therapy
During a visit to India, 11-year-old Radha grapples with their gender identity as their family subjects them to manipulative orthodox rituals, believing these will dispel an alleged ancestral curse affecting Radha’s thoughts.
