Disclosure Film Screening and Community Conversation

Join us for a free screening and discussion of the award-winning Netflix documentary Disclosure (2020). Disclosure offers an eye-opening look at transgender depictions in film and television, revealing how Hollywood simultaneously reflects and manufactures our deepest anxieties about gender. Leading trans thinkers and creatives, including Laverne Cox, Lilly Wachowski, Yance Ford, Mj Rodriguez, Jamie Clayton, and Chaz Bono, grapple with films like Dog Day Afternoon, The Crying Game, and Boys Don’t Cry, and with shows like The Jeffersons, The L-Word, and Pose. Director Sam Feder invites viewers to confront unexamined assumptions, telling a story of dynamic interplay between onscreen trans representation, societal beliefs, and the reality of trans lives.

Disclosure is best suited for mature audiences, due to language and brief moments of nudity.

Following the screening, stick around for a community conversation led by Ava Dziadzio, Special Projects Coordinator for OutFront Kalamazoo.

Already seen the film and want to participate in the discussion alone? Join us at 7:45 PM. Refreshments will be provided.
