My Genderation is hosting the Annual Trans Pride Film Night on the 14th July 2023, to present a selection of short films exploring a variety of trans lives and experiences worldwide. This is the 10th Annual Trans Pride Film Event.

We are looking for short films (under 25 minutes) that represent trans experiences. This can be either fact or fiction.

The films have to be made by trans film makers or a crew with a significant amount of trans people involved, or where a trans person played a key role in the creation of the film.

We are particularly encouraging fictional film submissions and films by and/or featuring trans people of colour, non-western trans people, trans people with disabilities, bi+ trans people, trans people of faith, older trans people, and non binary people.

If you cannot afford the fee to enter the festival, please email My Genderation at info@mygenderation.com and you will be sent a fee waiver code.

The fee is to ensure that the committee aren't wading through a lot of material which isn't trans specific or films that are entered simply because it's "free entry." The fee will be used to pay for subtitling of all films to make them more accessible.

This is a fundraising event to raise money for Trans Pride Brighton, which is a registered charity.

  • It was my first time participating in and attending the Trans Pride Brighton Annual Film Event. It was a real treat to see my film screened in such a splendid cinema. I really enjoyed watching the variety of films. In these challenging times, I was extremely grateful that My Genderation and the Trans Pride team worked so dedicatedly to bring trans and gender non-conforming people a sense of joy and connection.
