A Day of Trans
A Day of Trans is a groundbreaking, intimate look into the lives of four individuals – across three generations set against the backdrop of China's rise on the global stage. The short documentary film explores their lived experiences, professional career paths, community involvement, social barriers, and their unique approaches to life as transgender individuals across the generations.
DaXi
Self-described “traitor to my male gender,” Da Xi Ge has known herself for some 55 years, but has never possessed the vocabulary to adequately express this knowledge. This documentary short, overlaid with a kaleidoscope of symbols of traditional femininity, follows the day-to-day life of a scavenger, as she prepares for her dream of sitting for a wedding portrait.
