Otherness Archive Screening Rage and Joy, Grief and Play

Otherness Archive proudly defies the historic censorship of homosexual, trans and racial themes, and instead highlights them as representations of otherness that deserve equal, if not greater, recognition. Otherness acts as a route into complex narratives and subjectivities that make for richer cinema. After one year of research and a cultivation of work from Otherness Archive launched in January 2023. This first iteration of the archive focuses on the many nuances of the trans masculine* experience within film and moving image work.

*Otherness Archive uses the term ‘trans masculine’, we are referring to all the nuances of the trans masc experience in moving image work, and to the various expressions of masculinity found across the trans community including, but not limited to, trans men, non-binary people, dykes, butches, bull daggers, crowdaggers, studs and gender non-conforming people. We really want to deconstruct heteropatriarchal barriers to access and mislabelling that further obscures trans works of art.
