THIS PROGRAM IS ABOUT GETTING WHAT YOU WANT WHETHER YOU REALLY EVER WANTED IT OR NOT. |

| Possession | Herve Joseph Lebrun, France, 2007, 24 min. | A man, after spying his neighbor night and day, decides to kidnap him. Love and pain, torture and tenderness… A death love story. “You don’t want to die? Me neither, believe it or not. Of course I’d love to pass another 40 years with you, in your arms, sniffing your neck, telling you things I’ve never dared tell a man. What do you think? I’m not doing all this out of the lightness of my heart. And anyway, I’m doing you a favour. What would you do all alone with two out of three chances or becoming contaminated? It’s that what you want? Look at me. Have you seen my body, do you want to end up in the same way? Here with what I’m planning you can go over to the other side in full beauty. It’s young, I know. I also think that dying at 40 is a bummer. But there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s written that we go together. I’ve just push destiny’s hand a bit.” French with English Subtitles |
| Police Box | Josh Kim, Korea, 2006, video, 4 min. | In Hong Kong, a girl writes love letters to a policeman and puts them in a police box on his beat. One day a jealous boy sees her tampering with the box and decides to play a trick on the two. |
| Casting Pearls | Andrea James, USA, 2006, video, 7 min. | Andrea directed Casting Pearls a short comedic film by Deep Stealth Productions which illustrates the difficulties transwomen face in Hollywood. Calpernia Addams stars as The Actress, as we follow her on a hectic series of auditions. Despite all the horrible, funny and cruel things said by various Hollywood industry people, The Actress carries on with plucky determination and professionalism, showing that decades of bias can’t hold back the artistic contributions of transgender people in the media. |
