Content warning:
Seven visions of trans life, each unexpected, each an adventure into the realm of our unique experiences. We don't do definitions, we simply (or complicatedly) are, and these films explore our existences in remarkable ways. Each film offers up indelible images and tableaus, some bring us right to the edge, some take us over it. In the end, it's our humanity that shines out, that carries us through, that indelibly reminds you who we are.

Canis Major
10
min
Content warning:
An artist suffering from server writers block relies on the friendship of their dog in this multi-genre sci-fi short. Based on many true stories, this video-animation hybrid ruminates the relationship between dancing and earthly survival at the "end of the world."

Mes Chéris
12
min
Content warning:
Part documentary, part pornography, Mes Chéris is a transboi’s farewell to his boobs. One month before his mastectomy, Jamal Phoenix takes on the role of Chéri, a character modeled after his experiences as a Fierce Fem sex worker. This raunchy tribute subverts straight porn tropes and mainstream trans* representation in a radical act of self-love.

Before the Blue
14
min
Content warning:
BEFORE THE BLUE creates a sequence of subtly narrative and radically sensorial scenes, a stream of images/thoughts about existence and violence, the passage of time, death technologies, the power of animal and mineral bodies, and art as a possible trace left by humanity when it ceases to exist after surrendering to its own omnipotence.

In 2002, Lana Kaiser became well known in the first season of the German version of the Idol television franchise. She was born in 1985 and went by her birth name Daniel Küblböck. At only 17 years old she polarised the audience with her androgynous appearance and open bisexuality. On September 9th 2018, Lana disappeared from a cruise ship on her way to North America. Most media outlets and the majority of the public didn‘t consider calling her by her chosen name, Lana Kaiser. Philipp Gufler's short film is a personal portrait of the singer and entertainer.
