A journey through the trans realities of today and yesterday has unintentionally been drawn throughout various films in the D’A 2023 programme. Sofía Otero has won the Silver Bear for Best Performance at the Berlinale for her role as a trans girl in 20,000 Species of Bees. In My Way Out, Izaskun Arandia recovers the history of one of the pioneering clubs for trans women, while Sébastien Lifshitz reconstructs the memory of Casa Susanna, a refuge in the United States for transvestism. The protagonist of Trois nuits par semaine, by Florent Gouëlou, falls in love with a drag queen, but he doesn’t know if he also loves the person behind the mask. In Monica, Andrea Pallaoro explores the trans family experience from another perspective. And Alteritats, by Alba Cros and Nora Haddad, collects trans experiences within the spectrum of lesbianism. We will talk about these and other trans realities in a debate that will bring them closer to our context, and will allow us to comment and discuss the challenges, successes and shortcomings in the representation of trans experiences in cinema and off the screens.
