 festival is back offering up short underground films and live performances 
 by transgender and genderqueer artists. Everything from the taboo to the 
 profane to the drag-tastic power of mascara to creative use of body fluids: 
 November 6th, 7th  and 8th at Mama Calizo’s Voice Factory.  Co-presented 
 with Fresh Meat Productions, this year, Tranny Fest proves it’s not 
 always about size: all films are 10 minutes or less.\n \nNovember 6th: 
 Trannyfest Live! \nGender bending tap dancers, maverick performance artists 
 and kink chasing rock n’ roll adventurers collide in this one-night-only 
 performance event. Featuring Twincest, Storm Florez, Butch Tap, Carrie 
 Baum, Tranny Fest Artistic Director Shawna Virago and more!\n \nNovember 
 7th and 8th: Tranny Fest Film Festival\nThe Festival opens November 7th 
 with Gender Apocalypse, a collections of short films that obliterate the 
 two-party gender system. The Festival continues November 8th with Pocket 
 Rockets, a second shorts program exploring love, lust and other fun things 
 to do alone or with a buddy. \n \nFilm Festival Highlights:\n- Keynote 
 Address, directed by SF’s very own provacateur Annie Danger, explores the 
 creative uses of saline solution; \n- Fagette, directed by Ali Cotterill 
 (of Athens Boys Choir fame) is a trans-fabulous Sunday in the park gone 
 gay. Croquet, naughty cheerleaders and synchronized dancing all in an 
 astro-turf wonderland.\n- L1FE, directed by Aarin Burch stars trans hip-hop 
 heartthrob Joshua Klipp. \n \nTranny Fest, established in 1997, is the 
 world’s first transgender/genderqueer film festival and emerged for the 
 same reason so many marginalized communities have organized film festivals: 
 the absence of authentic representations of transgender lives and 
 experiences in the mainstream commercial media.  In the 11 years since, 
 Tranny Fest has remained defiant, proudly programming outside the box, 
 exhibiting groundbreaking, provocative, outrageous, courageous, moving and 
 innovative works that show the complexity of lives lived on the 
 transgender/genderqueer spectrum. \n \nShawna Virago is celebrated as a 
 trans pioneer in music, filmmaking and activism.  Miss Virago is a 
 roots/rock songwriter whose music twists together insurgent punk roots rock 
 and insurgent country, creating anthems for a new generation. Miss Virago 
 is one part poetess, one part ice queen and one part punk rock glamour 
 girl.  \n \nThe Festival’s co-presenter, Fresh Meat Productions, is an 
 award-winning leader in the creation and presentation of Bay Area 
 transgender and queer arts.\n \n\n\n
