USA 2008. Dir: Kortney Ryan Ziegler. 77min UK Premiere
In the past decade, independent cinema has seen an explosion of films that explore transgender issues. Many of those films, however, have elided issues of race in regard to trans communities of colour. In light of this, still black: a portrait of black transmen is a feature-length experimental documentary that explores the lives of six black transgender men living in the United States. Through the intimate discussions of thier lives as artists, students, husbands, fathers, lawyers and teachers, the film challenges traditional notions of black masculinity, sexuality and identity.
