Becoming Colleen
Australia, 2018, 58 mins
Dir: Ian W Thomson
More than a documentary about coming out as an elderly trans woman, this is a story of two people whose love transcends their traditional gender roles; a small community that comes together to support a friend
pursuing her greatest dream, and about the joy of finding the perfect pair of shoes.
Framing Agnes
Canada, 2018, 19 mins
Dir: Chase Joynt × Kristen Schilt
approached the UCLA Medical Center seeking sex reassignment surgery. Her story was long-considered to be exceptional and singular, until never-before-seen patient files were found in 2017. Framing Agnes features preeminent trans culture-makers breathing new life into those who redefined gender in the midcentury.
Starring Zackary Drucker (She Gone Rogue, Transparent), Angelica Ross (Pose, HerStory), Silas Howard (By Hook or By Crook, A Kid Like Jake), and Max Wolf Valerio (Max, The Testosterone Files).
