13. LGBT+ FILM FESTIVAL

TAHARA

Watchable. Overtalked, even if very naturally acted by the duo, or trio - including Tristan. And inconclusive. Too much gibberish in the final act. Jewish funeral traditions aren't inspiring either.

WSZYSTKO O MOIM DZIECKU (ALL ABOUT MY CHILD)

Recommended. A harrowing documentary about how trans people are treated by Polish nationalists, authorities, law and the Church. Heart-wrenching but a must-see in order to understand how strong the desire to change one's sex is and how much suffering it entails. 1/3 in I was already happy the whole film was just 47-minute long - it was so brutal.

Q&A WITH THE DIRECTOR

He works for TVN24. The director is a father of a trans child and also sounds traumatised. Trans kids and their parents use this reportage to come out. "Our block is bigger than the world's", says the author about coming out. Some interviewees are anonymised to protect them.
