She’s the He Synopsis: Just before graduation, Ethan and Alex pose as trans women in a last ditch effort to quell gay rumors about them. It's all a joke until Ethan realizes: she really is trans. As the school year ends, the two best friends must reckon with their changing friendship, coming out, and coming-of-age.
"By taking conservative talking points at face value and playing out their worst fears on screen, She's The He seeks to undermine and defang these harmful ideas while satirizing the very media that has fueled this fear-mongering." - Director Siobhan McCarthy
Las Cosas Que Brillan Synopsis: When a curious Trans mermaid defies her mother's warnings and ventures to the surface, she is forced to confront the violent legacies of colonialism, environmental destruction, and the danger of being desired in a world that sees her as a possession-not a person.
Fantastic trans films for the end of pride!
