Trans Film Screening Series: HOUSING EDITION

==>Trans Film Night: HOUSING EDITION ==>Free Film! Free Snacks! Free Talk! The Trans Film Screening Series hosts a FREE screening of: "LOST IN THE CROWD" "CHANGING HOUSE" & "TRANS JANUARY" Everyone welcome. Allies welcome. ► LOST IN THE CROWD: Daily survival is a constant struggle. This documentary takes up that reality by following a group of trans & queer youth living on the streets of New York, many whom are HIV+, involved in sex work, and survivors of rape, abuse - and family rejection. Individual voices combine to expose how youth face neglect from the societal structures that surround them. These youth speak to their fight to survive in a world hostile to their very existence and to the dreams and desires that keep them going. An emotional look at the pursuit of self re-invention and the hurt of homelessness. dir.: Susi Graff 2010 <75min> ► CHANGING HOUSE: Trans lesbian couple, Rusty and Chelsea devoted 15 years to making their Brooklyn home a communal living space for trans women in need. The film traces "Transy House's" roots, growth and unfortunate unsustainability in this intimate look back at its rich activist history. dir.: Z.A. Martohardjono 2009 <18min> ► TRANS JANUARY: Through digital storytelling this Toronto-based film talks back to the shelter system and thinks through solidarity. It complicates the cold, coping, community, and care. dir.: Andii Bykes 2011 <2:27min> DATE & TIME: Monday February 25, 2013 6pm – food / 6:30pm – film LOCATION: William Doo Auditorium, 45 Willcocks st.
