FtWTF - Female to What The ...

After the transition is before the transition. This documentary begins where transbiographies often end. It tells the story of six young people who experience their trans identities in very different ways. Katharina Lampert and Cordula Thym conduct profound and disarmingly honest interviews full of humor about the tightrope walk and the fault lines where gender and identity emerge. The film's examination of masculinity in the queer scene is also a key theme. "The film creates space for non-binary identities and paints a realistic picture of today's gender transformations that does without voyeuristic looks, tragedy and pathos, analyzes politically and informs feministically."
