Still from 'The Aggressives'
San Francisco’s Transgender Film Festival seeks entries for its 2009 Festival, November 6th and 7th. The festival accepts narrative, documentary, experimental, animated films and music videos. All work should be created by transgender/genderqueer people. All work submitted this year must be 10 minutes or under!
Tranny Fest was founded in 1997 and is the nation’s first transgender/genderqueer film festival. In the 12 years since, we have exhibited groundbreaking, provocative, outrageous, courageous, moving and innovative works that show the complexity of lives lived on the transgender/genderqueer spectrum. Tranny Fest is co-presented by Fresh Meat Productions.
Early submissions are encouraged.
There is no entry fee.
FORMAT
We will exhibit works only on DVD (North American format).
