FRAMELINE 50: Still Black – A Portrait of Black Transmen

This experimental documentary challenges traditional notions of Black masculinity and identity through illuminating conversations with an ensemble of preachers, poets, students, activists, husbands, and fathers. Through overexposed black-and-white imagery, a visceral film grain that embodies the depth of the conversations, and an original trip-hop score personalized to each participant, Kortney Ryan Ziegler’s Still Black: A Portrait of Black Transmen challenges the binaries of race, gender, and sexuality in and outside of the queer community.
