Don’t miss the Q&A…

After you register for this screening, be sure to register for the follow-up event, Members-Only Q&A: Disclosure, featuring a conversation with director/producer Sam Feder, producer Amy Scholder and executive producer/featured subject Laverne Cox. (Wednesday, November 11 – 3:00 pm PT)

Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to watch Disclosure in our Film Independent Presents Online Screening Room, powered by Vision Media.

Disclosure is an unprecedented, eye-opening look at transgender depictions in film and television, revealing how Hollywood simultaneously reflects and manufactures our deepest anxieties about gender. Leading trans thinkers and creatives, including Laverne Cox, Lilly Wachowski, Yance Ford, Mj Rodriguez, Jamie Clayton and Chaz Bono, share their reactions and resistance to some of Hollywood’s most beloved moments. Grappling with films like A Florida Enchantment (1914), Dog Day Afternoon, The Crying Game and Boys Don’t Cry, and with shows like The Jeffersons, The L Word and Pose, they trace a history that is at once dehumanizing, yet also evolving, complex and sometimes humorous. What emerges is a fascinating story of dynamic interplay between trans representation on screen, society’s beliefs, and the reality of trans lives. Reframing familiar scenes and iconic characters in a new light, director Sam Feder invites viewers to confront unexamined assumptions and shows how what once captured the American imagination can now elicit new feelings. Disclosure provokes a startling revolution in how we see and understand trans people.
