Film Screening: Transparent

Event Details: Film Screening: Transparent - :

Years before the pregnant man hysteria was blowing up the checkout aisle or polarizing debates with seemingly progressive friends, Jules Rosskam made Transparent, a documentary film that follows the lives of about twenty transmen who gave birth to their own children either prior to transitioning, or in midst.

The film will have you weepier than a Rosie Cruise doc, and deeply explores how queer families renegotiate parental roles, particularly for these trans parents who are both mother and father to their children.

After the hour-long film screens, the folks from DCATS will run a panel discussion with area trans men that’ve given birth.

Do it: This Sunday, May 18th, 5-7 p.m. at 1810 14th St. NW.

Bonus: Jules Rosskam is calling for submissions to his queer film fest.
