“Why would you do this on purpose?”

Castration Movie is a multi-part postmodern epic by visionary auteur Louise Weard. Anthology i. Traps contains two chapters. In Chapter i. Incel Superman, a production assistant named Turner Stewart (Noah Baker) sees his world spiral out of control as he uncompromisingly attempts to shape his life into the one he feels he deserves. In Chapter ii. Traps Swan Princess, a trans sex worker named Michaela “Traps” Sinclair (Louise Weard) finds her relationships becoming increasingly strained as she decides to pursue motherhood.

Written and directed by Louise Weard, Castration Movie Anthology i. Traps features a cast headlined by Louise Weard (Computer Hearts), Vera Drew (The People's Joker), Alice Maio Mackay (The Serpent’s Skin), Avalon Fast (Camp), John Paizs (Crime Wave), Lea Rose Sebastianis (In a Violent Nature), and Nate Wilson (The All Golden), amongst a mix of other emerging talent and weird and wonderful cameos.

This screening is 4 hours and 35 minutes long, with an intermission in the middle.

We recommend bringing a cushion or your own camping chair for comfort.

“As daring and revolutionary an indie film as any crafted this decade.” - William Bibbiani, The Wrap

“Castration Movie holds the shimmering promise of what cinema can be now, when multiplex fare has entered its moribund final act and fascism is tightening its grip on dissent, free expression, and the rights of the vulnerable. Great films about real things made on the margins are evermore essential, and this is a great film.” - Chris Sheilds, Screen Slate

“A landmark in trans cinema, from its blisteringly uncomfortable first act to its bottomlessly miserable last.” - Gretchen Felker-Martin (author, Manhunt)

“May very well upend our notions of how trans film imagery can look and feel… and taste.” - Willow Catelyn Maclay and Caden Gardner (authors, Corpses, Fools, and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness on Film)

“Watching Castration Movie got me so hyped for the future of film.” - Morgan M. Page (writer, Framing Agnes)
