Films written and/or directed by people who fall under the transgender umbrella (including nonbinary, genderfluid, and agender people, among others).
Directors and writer-directors are listed alphabetically first, then written-only films.
Some of these films are more available than others, but many are online, sometimes for free! For an easy way to find some good ones to start with, try sorting by streaming service, "Film Popularity" or "Average Rating-- Highest First."
Suggestions are still so welcome it hurts, but since starting this list in 2017 it has grown exponentially, and continues to! Thank you all for your continued contributions and support <3

(NOTE: This list aims to be a comprehensive and objective resource, so a writer and/or director's inclusion does not equal a recommendation or endorsement of their works or views.)
(NOTE #2: With regard to filmmakers whose trans status is in some way ambiguous (i.e. they've passed away, have only spoken about it vaguely, etc) I've had to make several case-by-case decisions based on research and available evidence. I explain my rationale in the notes, under the filmmaker's first entry, and always do my very best to be as thorough as possible. Comments are open for further discussion, but please remain polite!)
(NOTE #3: Filmmakers themselves, or those who have relevant/accurate information about them, are always welcome to chime in with any changes needed for the list! I am always happy to update filmmaker names, or any other information on the list as requested. Also, if any filmmaker wishes to have their films removed from the list, for any reason, I will always respect those requests.)
