This film was last shown on 31 March 2024

Join us on Trans Day of Visibility for the premiere screening of the film created by the participants on E.D.E.N. Film Productions’ filmmaking project.

Transforming Cinema Film Project, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, is a filmmaking project for the LGBTQ+ community - especially trans, non-binary and genderqueer, genderfluid and gender nonconforming people. Through a combination of online workshops and in-person filmmaking, a short film will be produced by the group that amplifies trans voices, experiences and stories.

Alongside the premiere, there will also be a selection of trans short films screened as part of the event.
