Gender Reel, hopes to achieve two primary outcomes this film season. The first proposed outcome consists of helping audience members enhance their knowledge and understanding of the trans experience. The second proposed outcome includes increasing the participation of trans people of color by 25%. To achieve the above-mentioned outcomes we will ask festival participants to fill out a short survey at the conclusion of each festival day. This survey will track important demographic information so we can determine how many trans people of color participated at the festival (Outcome 2). We expect to increase this number to 50% by screening more films about TPOC, having TPOC guest speakers and marketing the festival to groups and organizations that engage and center trans people of color. Additionally, this evaluation form will ask people to name two new things they learned from attending Gender Reel in 2018 (Outcome 3).
Our most significant outcome was the increase in POC participation we experienced. Based on data collected at all four events, 45% of those who attended and/or participated in the event (filmmakers, guests) identified as POC. This increase in POC representation provided Gender Reel with the tools needed to enhance perspective, increase diversity and celebrate the benefits of difference.
