* Caisa Viksten: Portrait of a Pussy, 8 mins, Sweden, 2016, Gustaf Lundh (Swedish with English subtitles)
This film is a portrait of Caisa & raises questions, thoughts & feelings about identity, sex, gender, obsession, human rights & what it is to be yourself.
* Pieptiș (Abreast), 11 mins, Romania, 2016, Patrick Brăila (Romanian with English subtitles)
Two souls walk abreast along the road that links a grandmother’s birthday with a grandfather’s grave. Down the narrow road that forces them to interact, a change takes place as the mother-daughter relationship morphs into a rocky new mother-son tie.
* Mum, 13 mins, UK, 2016, Anne-Marie O’Connor
Mum is a film with a trans character at the heart of it, telling a universal story. When Kate goes back to see her mother after a few years away she realises that, far from being ready for a day out, her mum is gravely ill. And no one thought to tell her. So, she takes matters into her own hands & although she doesn’t get the day she wanted, she gets the day she needed.
* Lady Eva, 11 mins, USA & Tonga, 2017, Dean Hamer & Joe Wilson (English subtitles)
A brave young transgender woman sets off on a journey to become her true self in the Pacific Island Kingdom of Tonga – with a little inspiration from Tina Turner along the way.
* Torrey Pines, 60 mins, USA, 2016, Clyde Petersen
Torrey Pines is a stop-motion animated feature film based on a true story. The film is a queer punk coming-of-age tale, taking place in Southern California in the early 1990s. Raised by a schizophrenic single mother, Petersen’s life story unfolds in a series of baffling & hallucinated events. With a mother fuelled by hallucinations of political conspiracy & family dysfunction, 12-year-old Petersen is taken on a cross-country adventure that will forever alter the family as they know it.
* TICKETS ARE FREE, BUT REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED *
In order to maximise audience attendance & minimise 'no-shows', 50 tickets are available online with the remaining 50 tickets available at the door. If you are unable to attend, please cancel your ticket.
