While LGBT film festivals often include a couple of films about transgender subjects, they often feel like an afterthought, as if at the end of organising things, they suddenly remembered they ought to feature something from the ‘T’ of ‘LGBT’.
How in Kiel, Germany, they’ve just held their new Transgender Film Festival, offering up a selection of feature films, shorts, music videos and documentaries about crossdressing and transsexuality, including some titles of gay interest. The event had now handed out its awards across a broad range of categories, which you can see below (and with some you can even watch what’s been given a prize).
We were pleased to see Romeos won Best long Film of the Year, as it was one of our favourite movies of 2012. The next festival is already set for Apri 11th-13th, 2014.
