Tucked away at UCLA in a rusted-shut filing cabinet, a treasure trove of transcripts of interviews with transgender people in the ‘50s and ‘60s was unearthed.  Director Chase Joynt (No Ordinary Man) and a star-studded team of trans filmmakers and actors including Zackary Drucker, Angelica Ross, Jen Richards, Max Wolf Valerio, and Silas Howard breathe new life into these transcripts in this thoughtfully crafted, deeply contemplative film. Through an astute hybrid of fiction and nonfiction—Framing Agnes blends staged scenes where the actors reenact the interviews with behind-the-scenes footage where the actors, as themselves, reflect on the material through a lens of our current culture and their own experiences.
