You will analyze a film and draw upon 2 course readings in order to apply specific concepts and ideas to your object. The expected word count of the film analysis is 1500 words. This assignment should include a summary of the film but in order to move into a critical discussion of the film. You are expected to closely analyze the film in order to discuss how your film offers insights for queer and trans studies. You can consider how the film challenges, aligns, or expands a reading and its concepts. Consider closely analyzing a specific scene and to move away from a general summary to reflect on the specific narrative and aesthetic decisions in the film.
