Dear Programmers:

The Film Collaborative is overjoyed to announce the Sundance 2020 World Premiere of DISCLOSURE: TRANS LIVES ON SCREEN, by director Sam Feder (Kate Bornstein is a Queer & Pleasant Danger), in the Documentary Premiere section.

Simply put, this film is to transgender cinema what The Celluloiud Closet was to gay & lesbian cinema back in the 1990s: it is the first historical look at transgender images of the silver screen throughout the ages.

DISCLOSURE illustrates how the fabled stories of Hollywood deeply influence how Americans feel about transgender people and how trans people are taught to feel about themselves. Featuring only trans interviewees, the film includes such leading thinkers and creatives as Laverne Cox, Lilly Wachowski, Yance Ford, Mj Rodriguez, Jamie Clayton, Chaz Bono, and many, many more.

We at TFC know this is going to be a heavily in-demand film, so please try to see it in Park City first!! The Sundance screening schedule is below.

We will try to get you preview screeners as soon as we can…but if your deadlines are urgent, please do let us know.

Please email us at festivals@thefilmcollaborative.org for screeners.

All best,

The Film Collaborative

ABOUT THE FILM:
DISCLOSURE: TRANS LIVES ON SCREEN is an unprecedented, eye-opening look at 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, share their reactions and resistance to some of Hollywood’s most beloved moments. Grappling with films like A Florida Enchantment (1914), Dog Day Afternoon, The Crying Game, and Boys Don’t Cry, and with shows like “The Jeffersons,” “The L-Word,” and “Pose,” they trace a history that is at once dehumanizing, yet also evolving, complex, and sometimes humorous.

What emerges is a fascinating story of dynamic interplay between trans representation on screen, society’s beliefs, and the reality of trans lives. Reframing familiar scenes and iconic characters in a new light, director Sam Feder invites viewers to confront unexamined assumptions, and shows how what once captured the American imagination now elicit new feelings.

DISCLOSURE provokes a startling revolution in how we see and understand trans people.
