GIMP GAIT
Directors: Pioneer Winter and Tabatha Mudra
The title of this work discloses its origin: ‘gimp’, a slur meant to mark a weak or handicapped person and ‘gait’, the manner or style of a person’s walk. The film’s subjects do not hide these from you – do you have a good view?
Consider
Director: Panu Saeng-Xuto
The teenaged Tay is a ladyboy, or “kathoey,” as members of this relatively well-tolerated transgender group are called in Thailand. This film follows the beginning of Tay’s self-discovery.
Tailor
Director: Cali dos Anjos
From Brazil. A transgender cartoonist shares experiences that challenge society. This film proves animation is not just about lost little fish.
Sis
Director: Dimitris Toulias
Two estranged sisters reconcile their differences during the course of one night where honesty is the only policy.
After the Date
Director: Iris Devins
A positive and loving relationship between a trans woman and a cisgender, straight man. We witness their bond being tested after harassment by the police.
I Grow More Fearless Each Time I Make It Home Unscathed
Director: Jespa Jacob Smith
This animated short is an essay about being non-binary in rural America, where violence is a constant threat and transition can seem like a refuge. It also reflects the difficulty of existing in a binary world, where ‘gender satisfaction remains elusive’.
