Shapeshift. The Screening

Running time: 90 mins

Shapeshift is a trans-led platform for performance, art & film fundraising for Luca Asta’s facial feminisation surgery. At Genesis Cinema on 28th August at 7pm, we’re showing a programme of films that deal with the Shapeshifer, with transformation and change, with costume, disguise and ceremony. Shifting through experimental film, music video and narrative, the programme challenges the idea of the Shapeshifter as inauthentic, exploring change as a site of pleasure, potential, fear and subversion. The evening’s films have been curated by Maz Murray based mainly on vibes and stuff that they like - come thru and see something new…
