29 March, 2008 - Film: She's a Boy I Knew (Amnesty International Film Festival)
Organized by: AmsterdamZorro
I would like to organize an outing to the Amnesty International Film Festival.
Filmhuis Kriterion (Zaal 2) - Saturday March 29, 7 PM
According to the website:
"Meet the Haworth family. Dad was a high school quarterback. Mom was
a typical 1950s Catholic schoolgirl. Older daughter Kim is an
elementary school teacher and new mom. Nicole is a bicycle riding eco-
queer vegan. Filmmaker Gwen Haworth was born as Steven, the only son.
From his early childhood, Steven knew that something was wrong, as he
didn't think of himself as a boy, but a girl. In 2000, once he had
already gotten married, he decided to go through with a sex change,
starting with a new name and eventually undergoing hormone treatment
and surgery. Steven became Gwen. This documentary tells the story of
how that transition affects those closest to her. Using archival
footage and animation to illustrate her story, Gwen allows us to
become a part of the inner circle of family and friends as they
grapple with the changes that are happening."
After the film ends, there is also a live Q&A session with Gwen
Haworth and the directors Kam Wai Kui en Justus Eisfeld.
