film festival: That's always the topic, says film producer Lucah Rosenberg-Lee, according to NOW Magazine. The family doesn't like you, you're trying on the clothes, you're trying to do medical stuff, you're trying to get doctors' approvals and the story closes with the family coming around at some point. If you've ever attended a screening of trans short films at an LGBTQ film festival, you can probably guess coming-out storylines await you. But what happens after that The idea that a transgender person's physical transition is a beginning rather than an end point underscores the 13-minute short, For Nonna Anna, which is among the Canadian films selected to play at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival kicking off this weekend in Utah. Chris is still in the coming-of-age demographic, not entirely confident yet as a woman, while her grandmother's body is failing her. Directed by first-time writer/director Luis De Filippis and co-produced by Rosenberg-Lee, the film follows Chris Maya Henry a young trans woman, who is left home alone to care for her ailing Italian grandmother Jacqueline Tarne . Though not about transitioning from one gender identity to another, the film still has transition in a broader sense at its heart. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
