More than two decades after its original release, the film has become a lightning rod for contemporary debates about the representation of trans lives and deaths on screen.Representational possibilities for trans people have changed dramatically since 1999. Morgan Page and Chase Joynt approach the accumulated tension with a spirit of curiosity about the limits of these historical returns. They argue that new visibilities of transness on screen require us to re-engage earlier portrayals: Boys Don't Cry is central to conversations about casting, violence against gender non-conforming people, and the borders between butch and trans identities. Acknowledging a younger generation of queer and trans people who are straining against the images foisted upon them, including this film's egregious violence, and an older cohort for whom it remains a formative, if complicated, touchstone, Joynt and Page revisit the original contexts of production and distribution to unsettle the overdetermined ways the work has been understood and interpreted.Boys Don't Cry ultimately relocates the film in a way that attends to the story's violence and values, both on and off screen.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49744798318865,"sku":"NGR9780228010821","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52771522019601,"sku":"GOR014614626","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0228010829.jpg?v=1773482352"},{"product_id":"you-only-live-twice-book-chase-joynt-9781552453315","title":"You Only Live Twice","description":"YOLT explores two artists lives before and after transitions: from female to male, and from near-dead to alive.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49909622407441,"sku":"CIN1552453316G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51036782723345,"sku":"NIN9781552453315","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51663166144785,"sku":"GOR014356423","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1552453316.jpg?v=1750926058"},{"product_id":"vantage-points-book-chase-joynt-9781551529578","title":"Vantage Points","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinalist, Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eA provocative book by an acclaimed writer-filmmaker that combines memoir and media as seen through a trans lens\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFollowing the death of the family patriarch, a box of newly procured family documents reveals writer-filmmaker Chase Joynt's previously unknown connection to Canadian media maverick Marshall McLuhan. \u003ci\u003eVantage Points\u003c\/i\u003e takes up the surprising appearance of McLuhan in Joynt's family archive as a way to think about legacies of childhood sexual abuse and how we might process and represent them.
