SUMMARY:Every Body Screening
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for joining Film Fatales and Focus Features for a special New York preview screening of Every Body directed by Film Fatales member Julie Cohen. \nEvery Body is a revelatory investigation of the lives of intersex people. The film tells the stories of three individuals who have moved from childhoods marked by shame\, secrecy\, and non-consensual surgeries to thriving adulthoods after each decided to set aside medical advice to keep their bodies a secret and instead came out as their authentic selves. Actor and screenwriter River Gallo (they/them)\, political consultant Alicia Roth Weigel (she/they)\, and Ph.D. student Sean Saifa Wall (he/him) are now leaders in a fast-growing global movement advocating for greater understanding of the intersex community and an end to unnecessary surgeries. Woven into the story is a stranger-than-fiction case of medical abuse\, featuring exclusive footage from the NBC News archives\, which helps explain the modern-day treatment of intersex people.

SUMMARY:Transcendent Storytelling Members
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales and Outfest Fusion hosted a live panel discussion about Authentic Storytelling. We heard from new voices in trans cinema including Fatales Forward fellows M.G. Evangelista (Burning Well) and Seyi Adebanjo (Ọya: Something Happened On The Way To West Africa!) as they discuss their filmmaking process and the power of storytelling as a tool for meaningful cultural change. Despite the increased visibility of trans characters on screen\, opportunities for gender-expansive directors behind the camera are virtually non-existent. By sidelining gender nonconforming voices\, Hollywood is actively contributing to the misrepresentation that leads directly to real-world violence. We need more gender-nonconforming storytellers behind the camera to ensure the authenticity of the stories being told. Moderated by Nava Mau. \nFatales Forward: Trans Stories is a trailblazing fellowship from Film Fatales created to uplift trans and gender diverse filmmakers by fostering an enduring collaborative community of creators. This event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:NYC Holiday Happy Hour
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales members in New York got together in person to celebrate all the amazing things we have accomplished in the past year. We reconnected with old friends and built new relationships.
