InScience Film Festival
Framing Agnes

Framing Agnes

In 2019, InScience screened the short film Framing Agnes, which has now been developed into a longer film. This film uniquely brings to life six stories of trans people from the archives of the UCLA Gender Clinic from the 1950s: we see real stories of real people who struggled with their gender identity long before there was any social understanding. Their pain and anger are poignantly portrayed by actors. This touching film premiered at Sundance.
