About INFRARED: Trans-Ocular:
From the depths of the underground emerge new films that defy standards of narrative cinema and normative desire. Embracing radical politics and documenting the freaky beauty of queer culture, these shorts range from video performance to stunning 16mm celluloid, from campy debauchery to sensual studies in light and texture.
Trans-Ocular, curated by Jeanne Vaccaro, was made possible by the generous support of Penn’s Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies; the Department of Art, English, and Cinema Studies; Feminism/s at Kelly Writers House; Penn Humanities Forum; the LGBT Center; and the Penn Women’s Center.
