Disclosure

2020 Sarasota Film Festival

Disclosure is an unprecedented, eye-opening look at the history and present-day landscape of transgender depictions in film and television, revealing how Hollywood simultaneously reflects and manufactures our deepest anxieties about gender. Leading trans thinkers and creatives — including Laverne Cox, Lilly Wachowski, Yance Ford, Mj Rodriguez, Jamie Clayton, and Chaz Bono — explore how screen stereotypes have penetrated their psyches and shaped self-perceptions over the decades. What emerges is a fascinating story of dynamic interplay between trans representation on screen, society’s beliefs, and the reality of trans lives.
