Special Screenings
Montclair Film is proud to partner with the Trans Affirming Alliance to present a program of films by and featuring transgender filmmakers and subjects that speak to the contemporary experience of transgender artists. By celebrating the work of these artists and subjects, we stand together to elevate transgender voices and provide a space for thoughtful engagement with new films. Montclair Film stands with the transgender community to celebrate gender diversity at the 2021 Montclair Film Festival, and we look forward to year-round screenings and partnerships with the Trans Affirming Alliance in the weeks and years to come.
