Unapologetic

Unapologetic is a short dance fashion film about transgender and non-binary performers exploring their own gender identities through costume and movement. The process began when UK based filmmaker Xavier Singer-Kingsmith and Italian Fashion Designer Guia Bertorello met to discuss the lack of trans representation in fashion film. They decided to create a short piece exploring how gender moves through the bodies of trans people. In Unapologetic the focus is on three different transgender and non-binary performers: transgender male (Naissa Essart Nielsen), genderqueer (Katayoun Jalilipour) and transgender female (Sakeema Crook). They tell their own stories through choreographed solos and spoken word. The film is called Unapologetic because transgender people are fearless and have to move through a seemingly binary world.
