This afternoon Sasha Alexander our Founder and Co-Director will be a featured panelist at Portrait of Q***rness: A College of Staten Island x Q***r Voices NYC Film Series as they Celebrate Trans Day of Visibility and Women’s History Month with a powerful day of films, discussions, and community at Portraits of Q***rness.
This special collaboration between the College of Staten Island and Q***r Voices NYC highlights impactful films by Staten Island filmmakers, an industry panel powered by GLAAD Media, and a screening of the award-winning documentary Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story, followed by a talkback with director Lucah Rosenberg-Lee.
In addition to compelling cinema, enjoy a vibrant disco party, light bites, and community partner tables throughout the day. Whether you stay for the full event or drop in for select sessions, there are plenty of opportunities to be part of the experience. This event is free and open to the public!
This in-person gathering offers a unique space to experience powerful storytelling, engage in thought-provoking conversations, and connect with fellow film lovers. At a time when transgender communities face increasing challenges, it is more important than ever to find strength in diverse q***r narratives and honor those who have paved the way.
