Perception

CONTENT WARNING:
An experimental animation exploring the disconnect between one’s own perception of self and how one is seen by the rest of the world, specifically facing the journey of transition from female to male.

Spiral Transition

CONTENT WARNING:
Spiral Transition is a compelling, candid, and interwoven documentary exploring the filmmaker's relationship with his mother and how it is evolving, transforming, and changing as he transitions genders. The film beautifully portrays the mother's feelings of loss and grief as her child transitions from being her daughter to becoming her son.

Threadbare

CONTENT WARNING:
A big transgender body dons and sheds a closetful of sweaters at maximum speed. Meanwhile, the character remembers - through tragicomic poetry - an inter-generational relationship that went awry many years ago. When the film begins, the character is remembering his former lover, who remarked that her favourite sweater was older than he was. By the film's end, however, the narrative has propelled the character from a forlorn past into a dandy future, all on the wings of verse and subversive fashion.

Charlotte

CONTENT WARNING:
A beautiful, young woman in desperate need of love musters up the courage to go on her first internet date - but unfortunately her date and her don't see eye to eye.

Their mother's condition sets Laura and Elliot on a path to realizing where their own lives have gone wrong. Love, loss and hope are all explored in this powerful drama, which asks the question: What is your dream?
Love, loss and hope are tumultuously explored amidst a tranquil backdrop and asks us all the question: What is your dream? After an unexpected phone call, Laura and her brother Elliot rush to their family’s country estate to find Lilly their mother gravely ill and living with a handsome young stranger named Ted. Estranged for some time, their mother’s condition sets Laura and Elliot on a path to realizing where their own lives have gone wrong. Lilly, on the other hand, has mellowed from the controlling woman she was and is hoping to pass on some wisdom to her children. Now her kids find themselves dealing with their own feelings of resentment and broken dreams while trying to figure out how Ted fits into their mother’s life. Elliot even sleeps with Ted to break some barriers. But Ted has a secret of his own.
