Germany / 40’
It can be difficult to deal with our own identity, there are many obstacles that our ego has to get through to fully express itself, whether they are interior or originate from the family, the community and society in which they live. In Eigentlich ist sie mein kleiner Bruder Lena Lobers deals with the search of gender identity, starting from a reflection on her little sister, who was biologically born as a male. This movie brings us into small excerpts of the life of transgenders and of the people that are close to them: it talks about the solitary struggle that is entailed in being ourselves, about the courage it takes; a struggle for a future, a body and a name to recognize ourselves in, a struggle to accept our desires and the way we are, in spite of everything.

En la actualidad podemos disfrutar de un decente grado de liberación sexual. Ahora las minorías se alzan y salen orgullosamente a las calles a enseñarles al mundo lo que son, pero aún hay resquicios de gente atrapada en tiempos pasados. Existencias limitadas a un período de tiempo en el que dejar ver tu orientación sexual podía valerte el exilio. Personas que de haber nacido unos pocos años más tarde tendrían vidas totalmente diferentes. En los recónditos lugares de su memoria se encuentran escondidos los deseos reprimidos, los amores inconfesables, las palabras que tanto quisieron pronunciar y que jamás salieron de sus bocas, la rebeldía contenida y las fantasías de una vida que nunca llegaría.

“Gefunden” ist ein Gedicht von Goethe, aus dem Jahr 1813. Der Kurzfilm stellt das Gedicht als eine Metapher über eine Liebesgeschichte zwischen zwei Mädchen dar. Das eine Mädchen, verglichen mit der Blume in dem Gedicht, traut sich nicht die Liebe zuzulassen. Das andere Mädchen, welches die Position des lyrischen Ichs einnimmt,, zeigt dem „Blümchen”, dass es sich lohnt mutig zu sein, zu sich selbst zu stehen und der Liebe eine Chance zu geben.

A work of montage that, thanks to the help of precious archive footage and videos borrowed from the internet, wander between the border of documentary and fiction, becoming a window to invisible scenarios, to an absurd and incoherent daily life without any audience.

O Último País (The Last Country), it’s a film catharsis. Living away from Cuba didn’t look dramatic for me, until I began to understand that the country would change and I wouldn’t be there to watch. I knew that we had to open ourselves to the world and renew us, but I was afraid that with this renovation the best system with lots of contradictions and utopias would also fade away. I wanted to film that change, wanted to meet with the Cubans, talk with them, return to belong. From the outside, things are seen in another way from other points of view. But coming back to Cuba, worried with the changes, made me feel more apart and weird, instead of restore the sense of belonging.

The Legend of Sing Hey
|
Becca Redden
|
2018
|
92 min
Centuries ago, on a rural fishing island in South Korea, a little voice began to grow. As generations passed, the voice grew stronger as it was passed down but not released. Through years of diaspora, environmental changes, and the emergence of the various oppressions that we know today, the voice was kept inside waiting to be unleashed onto the world at the right moment. This voice’s name was Sing Hey. As the voice continued down the bloodline, passed from holder to holder, it was born into the throat and the namesake of Janice Sing Hey Lee.
This feature documentary follows Lee, her sister, and her friends from Ontario to the East Coast: playing shows, sharing music, and rediscovering what home means by leaving it. The Legend of Sing Hey is a story that connects family, identity, and community with history and ancestral roots through performance, music, and celebration of spirit.
