Biography
Max Disgrace is an award-winning film director, a film programmer and trans man of Chinese descent, living in London. Max’s body of work has focused on the politics of queer sexual intimacies between marginalised bodies. Dismantle Me builds on this - focussing on nuanced experiences of romantic pleasure and desire between trans characters in narrative fiction. Max also desires to make work about the current crisis facing trans people in the UK. His previous short film Ruptured premiered on underground film platform 4:3 Boiler Room, for which he was awarded the Wahala Film Fund grant – for Queer, Transgender and Intersex People of Colour filmmakers. Last year Max also collaborated with Trans+ On Screen when he organised the ‘Trans Film Pitch’ event with BFI Flare, where 15 trans and non-binary filmmakers were selected from an open call to pitch their films to an audience of industry professionals.
