Description

This year’s festival proudly presents 5 feature films, 84 shorts, four workshops, filmmaker Q&As, industry networking opportunities and much more. From award-winning festival favourites to low budget DIY fever dreams, heartfelt dramas to martial arts TRANS style, dozens of Canadian films and a special screening dedicated to trans elders, our festival has it all.

Whatever you think “trans film” means—prepare to be surprised. Our 2025 programme challenges expectations, celebrates creativity in all its forms, and brings you the best new cinema from all over the world.

Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s key feminist text, this year’s festival theme reaffirms our commitment to cultivating a new kind of film culture, modeled on solidarity, liberation, and trans lived experience. Visibility alone is not enough: we need spaces that center, support, and sustain trans creators.

Our festival is not just about seeing ourselves on screen; it is about reclaiming agency over our narratives, our art, and our futures. By fostering a space where trans filmmakers can connect, share, and create on their own terms, we move beyond mere representation toward solidarity and liberation.
