Being a Trans-Person Living in a Two-Gender Society
Each society has certain rules about how boys and girls should be. We expect boys to act like boys and girls to act like girls. However, not everyone fits into this gender trap.
Loop Planes
13-year-old Nick lives with his dad at an amusement park. But today, with the arrival of his mother and a pink-haired girl named Katie, Nick is in for the ride of his life.
What's in a Name
Four transgender Austin, Texas residents share intimate stories about their gender transitions. Shane Whalley, a professor and employee of the University of Texas, discusses their genderqueer identity, transition into a new, unexplored gender identity and choice of a gender non-specific name, Shane. Phoenix, a data consultant, discusses his journey from womanhood to manhood, the struggles he has faced as both transgender and African-American, and the relevance of the mythical origins of his chosen name.
Death of My Daughter
Death of My Daughter was born when my mother, upon learning of my transition, announced to my family that I was dead to her.
Genderbusters
In their fight for the Gender Evolution Revolution, the Genderbusters drive around resolving the gender-binary dilemmas of folks all over San Francisco. From a genderqueer bathroom predicament, to wedding-appropriate gendered attire, to check boxes on forms, the Genderbusters are here to help! This film will provide a positive voice for the trans, genderqueer, androgynous & gender-fluid folks not yet represented on screen, documenting our history, serving as a call to action to be recognized and respected by society at large, and forcing our culture to evolve.
Remember Me in Red

James Dean
James Dean follows the Faulkner's as they desperately try to leave for their family holiday. Efforts to co-ordinate the trip are thwarted by their inability to get all members into the car at the same time. Frustrated by their dawdling, 14 year old daughter Alex has picked this inopportune moment to tell her elder sister Morvern, Mum and Dad that she thinks she may actually be a boy, or at least, the reincarnation of James Dean. However, with a distracted and currently disinterested family, she realises the only way to tell them is to show them.
Rally For Transgender Rights
On May 22nd, 2010, Harvey Milk Day, activists in Massachusetts rally for Transgender Rights in front of the State House. This fast paced, emotionally compelling short features two transgender activists, a State Representative, a young Socialist, and a slam poet who call for human and civil rights for transgender persons. Each speaker rallies the crowd with their powerful visions of change.
