Dr.XYZ:
A Medical-Drag
Transthology (2024)
A COMMUNITY- MADE TRANS+ HEALTHCARE TRAINING FILM
BIO:
Dr. XYZ is an exercise in queering the healthcare information film. Shot on 16mm, this trans healthcare documentary impersonates NHS training films from the 1960s-70s with a drag-satire twist. After collating an archive of healthcare experiences from Birmingham's trans+ community in 2023, Dr. XYZ explores the critical state of trans healthcare in the UK through ‘medical drag’ re-enactments.
It was commissioned by the BFI x AHRC’s ‘NHS Untold Stories’ initiative and is currently circulating in NHS staff training networks.
