Short film

Transcendence

Experimental documentary

Devised by Sharon Burrell and Toby Vincer
Directed by Sharon Burrell

Trans artist Toby Vincer explores the relationship between their lived experience and the natural environment.

TRANSCENDENCE is a short, experimental film conveying a positive lived experience of being trans, as a counterpoint to the overwhelmingly negative narratives in the current discourse. This glimmer of hope and optimism, performed by Folkestone-born and raised trans artist Toby Vincer, devised with director Sharon Burrell, meditates on Toby’s relationship with their body, the Divine Feminine, and the natural environment.

Originally created for Screen South’s Folkestone Documentary Filmmaking Challenge, it is now headed for the 2026 festival circuit.
