Shorts: Transmissions
Tue, Oct 20, 2026
These short films aren’t here to explain, define, or represent the trans community. They drift beyond convention, between memory and dream, through past and future to create something new that will transcend all your expectations.
The characters in this program move through therapeutic EMDR sessions, meet with reincarnation specialists, and seek out dream oracles, each one leading deeper into their memories and the unconscious. What brings them to the present does not hold them down; instead it awakens their truest selves.
This screening will be followed by a Q&A.
