Gender Reel Presents --- A Five Year Celebration @ PTHC

Join Gender Reel for its 3rd Annual PTHC mini film festival and it's 5th year as a national festival. This will be our ONLY event in Philadelphia this year, so please come out and join us even if you do not plan to attend the entire conference! Three films from our 2014 fall festival will be screened and door prizes will be given away to celebrate our 5th year anniversary. The three films include: Crazy Hot: This short film takes a campy look at ups and downs of dating. In My Skin: Hate violence, betrayal by loved ones, employment discrimination. These are just some of the issues transgender women face. Often perceived as a bastion of tolerance, New York City can be a hostile place for trans women. Despite rampant stigma and discrimination, trans women survive in the city, forging community and sisterhood. This film tells the story of a theatre ensemble of nine trans women who come together to create a play based on their lives. Brace: This short film tackles issues of homophobic hate crime, and gang violence against LGBT youth, set against a backdrop of troubled young love, London’s queer nightlife, and the perils that exist behind the bright lights.
