Trans: The Movie Benefit Film Screening Recap


Wonderful Night at the Warhol + over $1,000 raised


On Saturday night November 3rd, more than 100 people came to the Andy Warhol Museum to join Persad Center and ITL for the Pittsburgh premiere screening of TRANS, a documentary that focuses on the stories of several people whose transgender identities cause them to seek gender affirming medical care.

The stories are poignant, and the film's production values are impressive.  In addition to the screening and a post film Q&A with the film's Producer Mark Schoen, attendees had the opportunity to make pin-on buttons with artwork of their choosing, and to make their own silk screened tee shirt with assistance from Warhol staff and volunteers from the GSA at Pittsburgh's CAPA High School.

ITL is especially grateful to the Warhol and Persad for cosponsoring the screening to benefit ITL's current Internship. The event was a great pleasure, and an equally great success.

  1. I really appreciate ITL for putting this together and the Warhol & Persad for their sponsorship. I've seen a few documentaries and "Trans" is exceptional for not only the quality of the film itself but, in addition, the potential it has for enlightening those who are unfamiliar with transgendered individuals and the challenges that we face. I also want to say that my friends and I had such a great time meeting and chatting with everyone. Definitely a fun group and this event was such a nice change of pace from the bar scene. Hope there will be other events like this. BTW, in the photo accompanying the blog recap for this movie screening, I'm the girl on the far left holding her drink. Cheers! Cyndy

  2. Yay! I agree that the film is a great way to reach a broad audience of folks unfamiliar with trans issues. Also that events like this one are rare in Pittsburgh. Glad you and your friends were there. Thank you for your support.
