transparent
Pink or blue. Male or Female. Mommy or Daddy. Categories that we all take for granted are blown wide open in “transparent,� a new documentary film about 19 female-to-male transsexuals living in the United States who have given birth and, in all but a few stories, gone on to raise their biological children.
“transparentâ€? focuses on its subjects’ lives as parents – revealing the diverse ways in which each person reconciles this part of their history - giving birth and being biological mothers - now that they identify as male and are perceived by the world, but only sometimes by their children, as men. The first-person stories in “transparent” explain how changing genders is dealt with and impacts the relationships, if at all, within these families.

10 Lives
Human communication is a thorny endeavor. No matter what our messages are, no matter how difficult it is to get them across, we all share one desire: to be understood. But what happens when we aren't understood? 10 LIVES, a thirty-minute digital film, features four segments of directed improvisation that investigate a few of the ways people argue. In “Babble,” a young literary couple masks true feelings with metaphor. “Abuse” features a young woman's descent into domestic violence. Familial love and support is put to the test in “Discourse.” The film ends with “Silence”; an introspective tale that unfolds after words are no longer useful.
Directed by Michael Landers, with stories and improvisational direction by Rachel Astarte Piccione. Featuring an original score my Dan Goebel.
