Farah
Filmmaker: Jessi Jordan | 10 min | 2019
According to everyone in Havana, Farah is the first openly Transgender woman in Cuba. Having lived a tremendous life full of adventure and heartbreak, and lost all of her teeth after being thrown off a 4th story building, she carries on in her 50s as the most popular and well loved woman in the neighbourhood. Previously named Lulu, then revived at the morgue and reborn as Farah, her existence alone is a miracle.
Jesi Jordan is a traditional animator, video artist, painter, and performer from Ontario, Canada. She is presently under lockdown in Oaxaca, Mexico
You Will Go Home…
Filmmaker: Rhonda Lucy | 6 min | 2018
You Will Go Home… is a look at what it is like to say no for the last time. To accept that journey to heal. To end the toxic cycles and listen to that blood memory that leads us on that good path. Our trans people are often kept hidden and forced into dangerous situations. This film is about walking away for the last time.
Tsiktsinensawe Yakonkwe/Rhonda Lucy of the Mohawk Nation is the founder and Artistic Director of Sun Raven Arts established in 2015.
To Be With You
