Framing Agnes

Framing Agnes

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 explores where and how her platform has become a pigeonhole. Framing Agnes endeavors to widen the frame through which trans history is viewed — one that has remained too narrow to capture the multiplicity of experiences eclipsed by Agnes’. Through a collaborative practice of reimagination, an impressive lineup of trans stars (Zackary Drucker, Angelica Ross, Jen Richards, Max Wolf Valerio, Silas Howard, and Stephen Ira) take on vividly rendered, impeccably vintage reenactments, bringing to life groundbreaking artifacts of trans healthcare.

The border crisis is not taking place by chance. Behind it are official policies, heavy financing, and agreements between the U.S. government and the United Nations. The world is watching different pieces of this unfold, from the caravans gathering and streaming into the United States, to the direct flights of migrants into the American heartland. What is being left out of the discussion is why. In this investigative documentary, Crossroads host Joshua Philipp sets out to investigate what is really taking place behind the border crisis. The journey takes him deep into the jungles of Panama, into the migrant camps in the mouth of the Darien gap, through United Nations facilities, and alongside the programs to process and facilitate mass migration at the U.S.-Mexico border.
