Queering the Documentary: Filmmaker Connor O’Keefe

Nonfiction filmmaker, artist and teacher Connor Lee O’Keefe will share a selection of his documentary shorts. O’Keefe uses a queer lens to shape the realities captured in his films, telling stories with people that push the boundaries of what it means to live and share the world with others. He made his first videos alone in his bedroom, exploring gender through YouTube and finding his identity as a trans person at just 12 years old. Years later, these experiences led to "Our Transition," a personal documentary that tells the story of his transition through the perspective of his parents. Also screening are "Imagine a Body," an essay film on the spiritual nature of hormone replacement therapy for transgender men; an immersive musical portrait of Brazilian musician Jaime Jobim, titled "No More Longing"; and others. O’Keefe is currently in residence this fall as the Visiting Documentary Filmmaker at Robert Morris University, where he’s working on two films on trans experiences and communities: one featuring an all-trans hockey team, the other a trans saint from the 5th century. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with O’Keefe. This event is free to the public but reservations are recommended as space is limited.
