LONDON TRANS+
PRIDE ARCHIVE FILM
by Arti Siudem
About the film:
film assignment ‘archive film’ • UK • 9:52 • English & Spanish
Each year when I go to London Trans Pride, I feel suspended in a timeless bubble - safe and welcome but also angry having to protest same things all over again. In my film I use archive footage from years 2021-23 and voices of my trans+ friends to explore what role the LTP protest has to our community and what the future holds.
The film is not a finished project but rather a sum-up of clips collected until now, and it will be continued in the years to come. If you’d like to be involved, please get in touch!
