Films with transgender themes are increasingly part of our programme. This year is no exception: award-winning drama 'A Soap' features a relationship between a transwoman and her neighbour. In spite of 'Transamerica', there is a dearth of fiction that features trans characters. 'Boy I Am' is a powerful and controversial film which addresses the tensions and latent sexism involved in some of the assumptions of those involved in transitioning. A fascinating parallel is the femme movement where lesbian women are interested in focusing on a specifically femme identity, which is explored in the film 'Female to Femme'.
