Presented by Queer@CIIS

-"Gender?" by Joie Cohen - 20min, USA (2007) - A Video and Sound Collage by Joie Rey Jana Lynn Cohen
The intention of "Gender?" (2007) is to express visually the diversity which exists within the realm of gender identity and expression. The film is a product of an organic process in which participants were given the opportunity to express their personal thoughts and feelings about gender identity and gender expression.This short illustrates that the binary gender paradigm which is currently in place is extremely limiting, and exclusionary.
- "genderpoo" by lolagouine (2002)

-"Toilet Re-training" by Tara Mateik and the Sylvia Rivera Law Project - 30min (2003)
The video addresses the persistent discrimination, harassment, and violence that people who transgress gender norms face in gender segregated bathrooms. Using the stories of people who have been harassed, arrested or beaten for trying to use bathrooms, Toilet Training focuses on bathroom access in public space, in schools, and at work.

- Community Discussion: Can we have mixed-gender bathrooms at the Institute?

Next screening: March 4
