About Us
Baby Teeth Film Festival is a collective operation based in Brooklyn, New York. It was founded in 2021 with the intention of creating a space where trans people are freed from the burden of producing only trans narratives. It primarily takes the form of an annual evening of programming for trans, non-binary and gender-expansive filmmakers to showcase work that is not solely about their experience as trans and/or gender expansive people, and is not limited by genre. We have included animated, experimental, documentary, narrative, and many other sub-genres in our festival lineup. Its greatest feat is being executed by a team of gender-expansive volunteers – Baby Teeth welcomes anyone who wants to get hands on with executing a film festival to join us, and get firsthand experience putting on a full evening of in-person programming. For some contributing filmmakers, this is their first time seeing their work on a big screen. We have also garnered international attention and submissions from seasoned filmmakers. From screening each submission, all the way to booking a venue, Baby Teeth is a team effort grown by and for the trans community.
