Louise Weard | 2026 | 300' | English 

Coordinated European premiere. About five hours, with a long intermission.

A trans woman in trouble. The next part of Louise Weard’s cinematic epic.

Castration Movie is a labyrinthine post-modern epic about gender. Castration Movie Anthology ⅗ Year of the Hyaena includes Interregnum and Chapter iii. Chastity No Exit Virtue Cuck.

Part i. of Castration Movie, Traps, followed a trans woman named Michaela "Traps" Sinclair, a sex worker in Vancouver who splits her time between seeing clients and hanging out with her group of trans friends.

Year of the Hyaena continues to delve into stories of disenfranchised people facing problems at the intersection of politics and gender. Michaela returns as she does her best to be a good person in spite of everyone around her trying to use her to their own ends. The second half of this story shows how Michaela's journey has her collide with community workers, detransitioners, fetish communities, A.I. developers, right wing grifters, and anti-trans radicals as the film continues to explore a cross-section of contemporary life.

Castration Movie ⅗ Year of the Hyaena features a cast headlined by Louise Weard (Computer Hearts), Aoife Josie Clements (Ravine Angel), Ada Rook (Black Dresses), Avalon Fast (Drinking and Driving), Vera Drew (The People's Joker), Abigail Thorn (House of the Dragon), Liv Agar (QAA Pod), Lea Rose Sebastianis (In a Violent Nature), and Nate Wilson (The All Golden), amongst a mix of other emerging talent and weird and wonderful cameos.

Anarchist Group Amsterdam (AGA), in collaboration with Filmhuis Cavia, welcomes you back to the Amsterdam Anarchist Film Festival. Seven long years after our 2019 edition, we return with an exciting programme of films meant to bring hope, anger, joy and a call to action against an ever more absurd and crumbling capitalist reality that drifts into the future on the waves of war, genocide, environmental destruction and the looming rise of techno-fascism.

From December 4th to 6th at Filmhuis Cavia, we seek to create an oasis of resistance with screenings, talks and discussions meant to build solidarity, community and nourishment for the soul and mind. Our selection of films will explore varied topics: from critiques of patriarchal norms and historical anarchist struggles to absurd loops of gender-bending fun and postcolonial malaise.
