[AmyDaly]

For all my sisters who like to do short flims(other than porn!): Ok, before I post the call for submissions, just an extra tidbit: I know this is an web board for a adult content, but the submissions should not feature adult content unless used for artistic purposes(you know what I mean)

Let me know if you have any questions:




Call for Film Submissions By Trans, Genderqueer, and Intersex
filmmakers!

Postmark Deadline: June 15, 2009

SAVE THE DATE!

Trans/Giving’s First Annual Film Festival
Renberg Theater, LA Gay and Lesbian Center
August 8th, 2009

Trans/Giving, invites all trans*, genderqueer, and intersex filmmakers
to submit your short films our First Annual Trans/Giving Film
Screening, to be held at the Renberg Theater, at the LA Gay and Lesbian
Center in Los Angeles, August 8th, 2009.


As our gender variant lives have gained greater visibility in the past
several years, our images have been splashed across primetime and major
motion pictures. And even as we gain footing as subjects in mainstream
media, our own creative voices still struggle to be heard. And yet we
know the depth of talent that our community has to offer as filmmakers
whose work we are thrilled to be showcasing with this evening of film!


Whether you’re dealing with gender-specific issues or not, we will be
screen many diverse works made by trans, genderqueer, and/or intersex
artists, including comedy, dramedy, drama, experimental, animation, and
more!


* we mean trans as in transgender, transsexual, transvestite, as in
crossdressers, drag kings and queens, studs, and those who identify as
contributing members of gender fabulousness. *

Who are we?
Trans/Giving is a unique, award-winning series that showcases the
immense talent of transgender, genderqueer, and intersex artists in Los
Angeles and from around the world. Trans/Giving functions as both a
showcase for experienced artists as well as a space to explore for
those who are new to performing. We are a space where people from many
different communities and backgrounds can connect and share their

talents. While some of our past artists have addressed gender issues
directly, this is by no means a requirement -- we are interested in
sharing the best work of all members of our communities, whatever the
theme. Trans/Giving believes that the strongest statement we can make
as artists is simply through our art.
