POP-Corn presents: Disclosure (+ post-screening discussion) in honour of IDAHOBIT
In celebration and acknowledgement of IDAHOBIT 2021 (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia), we will be screening Sam Feder’s 2020 documentary Disclosure via Zoom, followed by a post-screening discussion.
This pioneering documentary features talking heads from some of the world’s leading trans actors as they explore the evolution of trans representation in film and media from the 1930’s to today.
Post-screening discussion
The film will be followed by an online discussion and audience Q&A with artists, performers and LGBTQIA+ icons: Dan de la Motte, Krishna Istha, Liv Wynter, Darkwah and Shay P-W.
