Boys to Men

From bad-ass butchers to talking genitalia, these shorts by, for and about FTM folks are a complete treat, mixing important self-reflection with the need to let loose and kick up your heels.

Letters from Home takes a sensitive look at family, identity and willful misperception through letters sent to Jayden from his family during transition. Featuring a cast of fierce and feisty talking genitals (complete with glitter and googly eyes), the innovative Trannymals Go to Court makes it clear that when it comes to exposing absurd transphobic legal principles, these private parts can save the day! Introspection and gorgeous imagery abound in Swim Suit, an experimental exploration of one trans man’s struggle to remain a member of — and then leave — his college swim team. In the sexy and stylized Miggy n Lil, a charismatic butcher swoons for a hot, überfemme, meat-loving thief on the run. Their chemistry, camp and charm will leave you hankering for a barbeque! Frameline Completion Fund winner F. Scott Fitzgerald Slept Here explores the intersections of class, race and privilege in the context of a friendship that nearly implodes from the pressure. The result is a compelling film about how lives and relationships can change before we even realize what’s happening.
