And I am Me

In 2007, at age 47, Alison Seger went back to college to study film. And I Am Me is her first film. Its subject is her 7 year-old son, Julian, and the film portrays his thoughts and feelings on relationships, race, adoption, and family.

Family Portrait

CONTENT WARNING:
Alexandra, Alex. The beneficiary of a Greek heritage. Olivia is Alex's partner. A Roxy girl. A 'skippy' to Alex's 'wog'. Different backgrounds, same desires. Olivia and Alex live together but you wouldn't know. Alex isn't 'out' so she has built a closet big enough for two-for the sake of family. Olivia just wants to live the truth. Alex's mother has come to visit but a surprise guest and a marriage proposal forces them to decide who is family.

Same Difference

CONTENT WARNING:
Among the cries of “What about the children?” during the debate over California’s Proposition 8, where were the voices of actual children?

Something Blue

CONTENT WARNING:
For some the world is not as simple as being pink or blue. Paul is the proud father of Charlie. But when he discovers that Charlie is secretly struggling with Gender Dysphoria (born the wrong gender) he begins his own struggle to discover what being a father really means. This 20 minute short juxtaposes the preparations for a big sister's wedding, the most feminine day of a girls life, with a young boy's struggle to claim his true identity.

A beautifully told love story of what happens when one woman finally follows her heart. Mia and Frida meet for the first time at their respective parents’ engagement party. As their eyes meet over the champagne toast, both women recognise a deep attraction for each other. But standing in their way is Tim, Mia’s long term boyfriend and business partner, who has just asked Mia to marry him. Thrown together by circumstance, Mia finds it hard to resist acting on her desires for the beautiful and openly gay Frida. Although she insists it was just a one-time thing, she is drawn to the other woman as strongly as Frida is drawn to her. Realising the love and acceptance she experiences with Frida is what she truly wants in life, Mia’s actions have the potential to turn everyone’s lives upside down. How far will she go to keep the woman of her dreams? A beautiful and sensual film told elegantly by Keining with strong performances by all involved. (Description courtesy of Emma Smart, BFI London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival.)
After they meet at their parent’s engagement party, Mia and Frida are intrigued by and attracted to one another, despite Mia’s own upcoming engagement to Tim. Mia must decide whether to continue her life with Tim or to follow her heart with Frida.
