Trans Fest Stockholm collective
Feeling sad that we cancelled our Spring Culture festival, it felt important to do something. The Trans Fest collective gave me the space to put together a programme of films from previous editions of our Autumn film festival, all of which are available on line. Submissions for our Autumn Film Festival are now open, we’re looking forward to seeing your films. In the meantime, here is full programme we shared earlier this week, enjoy the Trans fest magic!
