Framing Agnes Movie 2022, Official Trailer, Release Date, HD Poster

 The pseudonymous Agnes was a pioneering transgender woman who participated in an infamous gender health study at UCLA in the 1960s. Her clever use of the survey to gain access to gender-affirming healthcare led to her status as a fascinating and celebrated figure in trans history. In this innovative cinematic exercise that blends fiction and nonfiction, director Chase Joynt (No Ordinary Man) uses Agnes’s story, along with others unearthed in long-shelved case files, to widen the frame through which trans history is viewed. Through a collaborative practice of reimagination, an all-star cast of trans performers, artists, and thinkers including Angelica Ross (Pose), Jen Richards (Mrs Fletcher), and Zackary Drucker (Transparent) take on vividly rendered, impeccably vintage reenactments, bringing to life groundbreaking artefacts of trans history. This collective reclamation breaks down the myth of isolation among transgender history-makers, breathing new life into a lineage of collaborators and conspirators who have been forgotten for far too long.
