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

In the late 1950s, a woman named Agnes 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).
