The Los Angeles Transgender Film Festival showcases work by trans and genderqueer filmmakers to audiences in southern California and beyond with screenings at theaters, colleges, and community organizations throughout the year.
The Los Angeles Transgender Film Festival was founded in 2009 by the Trans/Giving art collective, which put on performance arts events throughout southern California from 2003-2010. In its first year, the Trans/Giving film festival screened short comedies, documentaries, experimental and art films to a near-capacity crowd in Los Angeles. The short films program was then taken on the road as the Traveling Trans/Giving Film Festival, screening at colleges and universities around southern California.
In 2010 the festival became the TG Film Fest: The Los Angeles Transgender Film Festival and expanded to a full day of film screenings in Hollywood, and a tour of many local colleges and community organizations. The 2011 festival expanded once again to include three days of screenings in venues across Los Angeles. We are currently on tour to colleges and organizations, see the On Tour tab for a list of upcoming screenings. Contact us for more information on how to book a screening.
*we mean trans as in transgender, transsexual, transvestite, as in crossdressers, drag kings and queens, studs, and all those who identify as contributing members of gender fabulousness.*
