In times of growing global hostility towards queer and trans people, community spaces can be significant and empowering. We want to create such a place with tink and will be showing films on September 6th and 7th with a focus on the realities of trans, inter, and non-binary people.
The different perspectives and visions in the films touch on themes such as community and chosen family, recognition and friendship. They can be funny, as well as showing normal, sometimes hostile, everyday life, dealing with the past and asking how we want to face it. And sometimes it’s simply about defiance and the will not to give up, but to keep going.
tink was organized by a group of tin and cis people. It will feature a selection of films that approach the diverse topics from an artistic, documentary, biographical, and political perspective. Our selection was particularly influenced by films that were largely created by the communities themselves, because telling one’s own stories is also a form of self-empowerment.
tink is intended to be a community space for meeting and connecting.
