Mutt [2023, USA]
Feña, a young trans guy bustling through life in New York City, is afflicted with an incessantly challenging day that resurrects ghosts from his past. Laundromats, subway turnstiles, and airport transfers are the hectic background to this emotional drama that overlaps past, present, and future. Settling the disharmony of transitional upheaval in relationships familial, romantic, and platonic is Feña’s task at hand, and his resulting juggling act is equal parts skillful, fumbling, and honest. The poignant moments he finds between himself and others – as the distance between them closes – are warm, true, and touching.
Von: Vuk Lungulov-Klotz (USA, 2023, 87 Min., Eng/Span)
UÝRA – The Rising Forest [2022, Brasil/USA]
Uýra, a trans-indigenous artist travels through the Amazon forest on a journey of self-discovery using performance art and ancestral messages to teach indigenous youth and confront structural racism and transphobia in Brazil. Uýra is the alter-ego of Emerson, a non-binary performance artist and ecologist of indigenous origin living in Manaus, Brazil. Marginalized as an Indigenous, queer, and trans person, Uýra travels through the Amazon on a journey of self-discovery using performance art and exquisite transformations — often created from materials found in the nearby forest — to spread their message of environmental protection and promote LGTBQ+ rights. In Brazil, a country that kills the highest number of trans, indigenous, and environmentalist youth worldwide, Uýra leads a rising movement through arts and education while fostering unity and providing inspiration for the LGBTQIA+ and environmental movements. In the Amazon, Uýra visits Indigenous villages to share ancestral knowledge with the youth and bring awareness to the importance of identity and place, at a time when both are under attack from Brazil’s repressive political regime. Through dance, poetry, and visually stunning costumes and makeup, Uýra boldly confronts historical racism, transphobia, and environmental destruction. Their search for their own identity and their struggle to bring awareness to the interconnected relationship between humans and the environment — not to mention the direct link from structural racism to trans- and homophobia — lie at the heart of this poetic and eye-popping film.
Von: Juliana Curi (Brasil/USA, 63 Min.)

We are queer [2016, F]
« We are queer » tourné à San Francisco en 2013 interroge le parcours d’artistes queer, adjectif péjoratif dans les États-Unis d’avant 1990, réapproprié et resignifié dans une lutte émancipatrice. Aujourd’hui, Queer apparaît autant comme concept philosophique et politique que comme auto-désignation. A travers le portrait d’individus s’opposant à la vision dominante des rôles de genre, remettant en question la catégorisation binaire des sexes, militant par une voix qui leur est propre, ce documentaire explore le lien entre création artistique et revendication identitaire.
Von: Thomas Lavergne, Julie Paradis, Fanny Reuillard (F, 2016, 29:57 Min, E)
FtWTF – female to what the fuck [2015, A]
Der dokumentarische Film FtWTF setzt sich in präziser Weise mit dem Thema der Geschlechtertransgression auseinander, wobei die Überschreitung der Geschlechtergrenze jeweils die selbe Richtung nimmt: aus einem bestimmten Startpunkt (weiblich/Frau) zu einem vorläufig offenen Zielpunkt („was auch immer – what the fuck“). Die Filmemacherinnen porträtieren sechs Personen, die aus unterschiedlichen Hinter- gründen heraus die Identität „transgender“ annehmen, und diese in unterschiedlicher und sich verändernder Weise leben.
Von Katharina Lampert & Cordula Thym (A, 2015, D, 92 Min)

Kate Bornstein is a Queer & Pleasant Danger [2014, USA]
Kate Bornstein is a Queer & Pleasant Danger is the first feature documentary about the visionary trans author and performer Kate Bornstein. Director Sam Feder captures the many facets of this queer gender outlaw. Whether Kate is charming an enraptured audience on her latest book tour, tweeting to her fans, or deconstructing postmodern theory, her bold thinking, wicked wit, and astonishing candor get to the heart of transformations in gender and sexuality. The film sheds new light on issues of critical importance to trans and queer communities, such as gender theory as survival, depression and alternatives to suicide, a broad gender spectrum vs. a rigid gender binary, notions of queer family and legacy, and illness/treatment/recovery.
Von Sam Feder (USA, 2014, 1 Std 12 Min, E)
