Recommended films for ERG Screenings

Man Made

Man Made follows the extraordinary lives of four transgender men as they prepare to compete at TransFitCon, the only all trans-bodybuilding competition in the world.

El canto del colibrí

Much like the seldom-heard song of the hummingbird, the voices of Latino fathers are rarely heard addressing LGBTQ+ issues. But in El canto del colibrí, these voices are amplified in a groundbreaking documentary—the first of its kind.

Gay USA

National Gay Freedom Day marches in June 1977 are vibrantly captured across the country in this groundbreaking historical documentary, beautifully restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive in collaboration with Frameline and Outfest.

Transparent

The normative gender binary is broken down in Transparent, a documentary about 19 female-to-male transgender individuals living in the United States who have given birth and, in all but a few stories, gone on to raise their biological children.
