ACLU | Queer and Trans Stories Are Seen as “Separate,” How Do We Go Beyond That? - ACLU - At Liberty @ACLU | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
In January, At Liberty recorded an episode live from the 2024 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, hosting a discussion with queer and transgender storytellers.
In the episode, we were joined by Lío Mehiel, an actor, filmmaker, and multidisciplinary artist known for starring in the films “Mutt” and “In the Summers,” both of which premiered at Sundance. We were also joined by Jules Rosskam, a filmmaker, artist, and educator who has directed several films including “Transparent,” “Against a Trans Narrative,” and the recent Sundance premiere “Desire Lines.” Last, but certainly not least, we had Gillian Branstetter, our very own communications strategist for the ACLU’s LGBT and HIV project.
Together, we spoke about how we must own our narratives and tell our stories because the queer and trans community will not be invisible.
This episode ran on the At Liberty podcast on January 25, 2024.
