A Trance
Jordan Chanetsa
The film is a collage of images and sounds—direct and sincere. Different layers of life intertwine: activism, longing and intimacy. Uncertainty is a lifelong theme when it comes to queer and trans people. The internet is a haven and provides space for people to find a community they feel they fit into. Telling our own story saves it from being erased.
