oh there's a film festival that has a nice international selection and a bunch of queer movies
*after looking at the programme in depth*
come on, why is almost every movie featuring lesbians by a man, every movie featuring trans women by a cis man, and every movie featuring trans men by a cis woman? but every whiny midlifecrisis cis man story is by a cis man, what a surprise. so at what point do we finally get to tell our own stories?
to be fair, i am studying in what is basically an experimental film degree. i do have access to all the equipment, facilities and knowledge. i've just been avoiding film because i feel it's not my medium. maybe that's some internalized bullshit because trannies like me aren't expected to make films? idk. what would i even make a film about. lesbian crows? queer bog witches stealing trans children from their transphobic parents? a documentary about vandalising gendered bathroom signs?
