Obviously, during TranScreen there is much more to do than just watch movies. We also throw:

• Lectures, with the opportunities for discussions,
• An art exhibition,
• And of course many encounters!
TranScreen is an event in which (trans)gender diversity is the norm. A public space where everyone can be themselves in a secure environment. Regardless of gender orientation or sexual preference. A place to meet up and exchange international experiences in a relaxed and spontaneous way.

About TranScreen
The TranScreen Film Festival is a cultural and informative film festival on the theme of transgender and gender diversity. The festival aims to show qualitative and challenging films from all over the world. The aim is to increase public awareness to provide the versatility of transgender and gender diverse people.
Simultaneously TranScreen has a clear social mission. Many ‘closet’ transgender people, or those that have left that noun behind long time ago and are no longer within the transgender community, come to TranScreen. Therefore, the festival offers a special meeting. This is an important asset, the impact should not be underestimated.
So highlight the 3rd to 6th of June in your agenda and make it to: TranScreen!
