Agnes, the pioneering, pseudonymized, transgender woman who participated in Harold Garfinkel’s gender health research at UCLA in the 1960s, has long stood as a figurehead of trans history.
In this rigorous cinematic exercise that blends fiction and nonfiction, director Chase Joynt (AN ORDINARY MAN, CIFF2020) explores where and how her platform has become a pigeonhole. FRAMING AGNES endeavours to widen the frame through which trans history is viewed, breathing new life into a lineage of collaborators and conspirators who have been forgotten for far too long.
