groundbreaking exploration of trans images in film and the emerging political
possibilities of the new trans cinema movement.
For
over a century, trans images have appeared in cinema, often as harmful cultural
objects shaped by the zeitgeist-from Christine Jorgensen to Candy Darling to
sensationalised guests on The Jerry Springer Show. These representations
frequently cast trans bodies in abject forms: as corpses, jokes, tragic
martyrs, or even monsters. But now, a new wave of trans cinema is emerging from
the margins, creating its own film language in direct response to this history.
Corpses,
Fools, and Monsters provides a radical
history of trans images in film, analysing the works of trans directors like
Isabel Sandoval, Silas Howard, and the Wachowski Sisters. It explores trans
representation in everything from pre-talkie films and Ed Wood's B-movies to
Oscar-winners, body horror, and slashers. Beyond reassessing notable films and
portrayals, the book highlights overlooked filmmakers and films, showcasing
those who are pushing trans cinema into the mainstream in the twenty-first
century.
