Obscure Film Presents: Genre Identities 3 – TRANSNESS AND QUEERNESS

The sixth in a year-long series of feature and short film screenings presented by Obscure Film at Cultplex in 2026!

Each of the Genre Identities programmes will feature two hours of short films by local and international filmmakers, exploring the relationship between themes and concepts of a wide variety of film genres and the identities of the filmmakers and their communities. 

This screening features characters and plots involving intersectional aspects of trans and queer lives, steeped in familiar genre trappings. With some exclusive premieres, the programme includes mystery, experimental film, drama, romance and comedy.

This screening features a special collaboration with us at the Swedish Archive for Queer Moving Images (SAQMI) where we are bringing three short films by Swedish queer and trans filmmakers to the UK audiences.

Film contributions from SAQMI:

Spermwhore by Anna Linder (2016)

Space is Quite a Lot of Things by August Joensalo (2021)

Plenum Im Tuntenhaus by Lasse Långström & The homosex syndicate of precarious avantgarde artists (2024)

Total Length: 120 min

Curator: Sammy Holden
