Layer: A Day in a Life

Details

Overview

Layer is a “no budget” amateur style mockumentary short. Its protagonist tells a story of her life-long coming out as an “oviparous person.” The video incorporates some sci-fi elements (concerning human oviparity) with its depiction of everyday life within the largest city of Kazakhstan. Through its use of humor and the quotidian, human oviparity as a mark of radical difference can be seen in relation to the demonization of transgender life in oppressive societies.
