Emmanuel (Clément Hervieu-Léger) has always had bad luck stemming from the same predicament; a desperate desire for gender reassignment surgery. So when a high risk underworld opportunity comes along that could score enough money to pay for her surgery, plus a first-class flight to Bangkok and a buttock lift to boot, Emmanuel leaps before looking. Based on the French novel of Laurent Martin, this film noir thriller follows a desperate girl willing to do anything to change her luck and achieve her ultimate goal.

LOST IN THE CROWD follows a group of trans and queer youth living homeless in the streets of New York City, most having been rejected by their families. Shot over eight years, this groundbreaking documentary reveals the trials they must face fighting to survive in a world hostile to their very existence, and the dreams and desires that keep them alive. 1pm

Girl Inside Saturday, May 14
3pm
Northwest Film Forum
This beautiful, heartwarming coming of age story is both an intimate portrait and a thoughtful exploration of what it means to be a woman. Following 26-year-old Madison during a crucial three years of her transition from male to female, GIRL INSIDE tracks her emotional, intellectual and spiritual journey of self-discovery that is as important – if not more than – the physical journey of hormones and surgery. Sharing the spotlight is Vivien, Madison’s glamorous 80-year-old grandmother, who has taken on the job of advising her on all things feminine. While Vivien’s attempts to school Madison in old-fashioned codes of fashion and behavior are often hilarious, the juxtaposition of two vastly different experiences of womanhood, from very different generations, raises profound issues about the nature of gender, femininity and sexuality.
