Synopsis


The film explores the concept of the trans icon. It uses a hybrid format, combining scholarly analysis with clips based on archived interviews, filmed with transgender actors.


Background


The film is an expansion of Joynt's short film of the same title, which premiered in 2019.[1][2]


Cast


The cast includes Angelica Ross, Zackary Drucker, Jen Richards, Max Wolf Valerio, Silas Howard and Stephen Ira.[3]


Release and reception


The film premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival,[1] where Joynt won both the Audience Award and the Innovator Prize in the NEXT program.[4] In a critical review in Paste, Shayna Maci Warner wrote, "As a cinematic experience, the film feels pulled in several directions, formally incomplete and jagged."[2] IndieWire's review was similarly mixed, commenting negatively on the high proportion of academic content in the documentary, making it "feel more a history class than a story."[5]

The film was longlisted for the Jean-Marc Vallée DGC Discovery Award,[6] and shortlisted for the DGC Allan King Award for Best Documentary Film,[7] at the 2022 Directors Guild of Canada awards.
