Crimes committed against people because of their gender identity, expression or status are all too common. What makes PHOTOS OF ANGIE unique is that this story doesn’t end with just another court case, but boldly goes where others leave off, exploring the transphobia of the killer himself and the culture that surrounds and supports it. PHOTOS OF ANGIE tells the complete story of what motivates this violence, providing more accurate and compelling insight that may one day help bring these crimes to a stop.

XXWHY follows the thoughts and feelings of a young transgender man and his girlfriend living openly in India. Exploring his feelings about not having been born in a male body and the loss of experiences he yearns to have, the film is a very rare look at the life and culture of an Indian FTM making his way on the Asian continent. XXWHY was part of the specially curated KASHISH SHORTS 2010; eight Indian Queer Films from KASHISH Mumbai International Queer Film Festival that showcase the diversity of Indian queer experience and expression in contemporary times.

Playing with: REALNESS, David Barclay Moore; 2010; USA; 15 min

Welcome to Schmuckstraße, which literally translates to Jewelry Road. This is where the 'Jewels Of The Street,' Eva, Kelly and a sorority of closely knit working girls earn a living in St. Pauli, Hamburg, Germany. Like a real life PRETTY WOMAN documentary, you’ll peek into the trials, tribulations and triumphs that these Venezuelan women endure to support one another. The true gem of this documentary is the excellent cinematography and editing, drawing you into the girls’ stories and connecting with even their smallest victories.
JEWELS OF THE STREET, Rosa Baches, Dirk Manthey; 2010; Germany; 74 min

Clarinetist Simon Eskenazy has so much going on that he can’t finish his Klezmer record. His ailing, hypochondriac mother wants to move in with him and his ex-wife Rosalie and their son suddenly resurface after 10 years. He’s also trying to seduce a young gay man while carrying on a relationship with Nair, a young transgender Arab. But it’s Nair who helps Simon get his life in order, first by becoming nurse to his mother, and then showing him what he’s really looking for. A wry, intelligent 'rom-com,' HE IS MY GIRL is a memorable story of lost souls finding love.
HE IS MY GIRL, Jean-Jacques Zilbermann; 2009; France; 100 min
