Trans Heaven, Pennsylvania - In the 1970s and 1980s, the small Pennsylvania town of New Hope was among a few safe havens outside of major cities for gay men to find community. Over 30 years later, the town’s legacy remained, but now for a different community: transgender women.
"Trans Heaven, Pennsylvania" explores the untold story of legendary, weekend-long parties that saw hundreds of transgender women and self-identified crossdressers take over the town, traveling from all over the country to meet other people like them. Through both interviews and stunning animation sequences that utilize never-before-seen archival photography, audiences not only get a glimpse into the heyday of these events in the early 2010s but also the iconic gay bar The Raven which became the unlikely cornerstone of these weekends.
Hello Stranger - Between loads of laundry at the corner laundromat, Cooper shares the tumultuous story of her gender reassignment journey.
Leap of Truth- A short documentary that chronicles the inspiring journey of Jason Lee, a transgender activist, as he overcomes personal struggles and societal barriers to embrace his authentic self. Through raw honesty and unwavering determination, Jason's story resonates as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of self-discovery and acceptance.
SEAT 31 ZOOEY ZEPHYR-When Zooey Zephyr was expelled from the Montana House of Representatives for speaking on a bill banning transgender medical care, she made a nearby bench her “office.” Director Kimberly Reed’s cameras land next to Zooey, capturing shocking, funny, and joyous events.
