The Transgender District launched their 3-part screening series in mid-August. Their work is near and dear to our hearts, so QWOCMAP was excited to collaborate with this Beloved Community Partner. We were also thrilled because our QWOCMAP Filmmakers are in different workshops, so this was the first time that these nonbinary, gender nonconforming, and transgender BIPOC filmmakers had seen each other’s films.
