Welcome the genderqueers, genderfluids, and the inbetweens to Frameline’s first non-binary shorts program! Featuring claymation, an office lottery pool gone wrong, a trans national fencing team, an androgynous queer utopia, an impromptu lesson in gender neutral pronouns at the gynecologist, a trans/NB backpacking trip, and growing mermaid scales, these films are a reminder that we all define our non-binary genders — and therefore our lives — for ourselves.
