These eight short documentaries give us insight into the lives of some truly remarkable people, told in many different ways. Take a seat and get to know the all, Up Close & Personal.
A filmmaker sends a message to his future self in Note to Self. Meet Malaysian-born Sereena, a captivating transfeminine performer who poetically discusses trans (in)visibility in What Do You See. The doc 98 Years* and Counting is a call for and celebration of women’s leadership and a stark look at the under-representation of women in positions of power. My Own Wings is a beautifully executed transmedia project that explores intersex identity. The Things That Make Us is about two people and their journey in learning to love their bodies. Many Loves, One Heart tells the story of the nascent LGBTQ movement in Jamaica. In Angela Wilson: A Butcher’s Story, meet Angela, the owner of Avedano’s, an independent butcher shop here in San Francisco. In Picture This, we follow Andrew, a self-described “queer cripple,” as he plans the second edition of a sex-positive play party. The film shows the uneasy dichotomy that disabled people face, of feeling invisible or like outcasts. With its insistent and unflinching gaze, Picture This invites us to see them for who they are.
