SOUL OF THE DESERT
Portrait of Georgina a trans woman in Bolivia who has been fighting the government to be who she is. This is a look at a woman who is living on the fringes of Bolivian society. Because her identity still says she is a man is has fallen into a twilight world. The film is one part the story of Georgina‘s quest to be recognized as a woman and at the same time it is a quiet portrait of her life. This is a low key mediation on life as lived.
Portrait of two Kurdish men in Iran who are forced to smuggle goods over the mountains in order to survive. This is an observational film with some of the best images you will see all year and sweeping score. Playing more like a low key narrative this is a true life adventure that is also a grand work of cinematic art. Recommended.
STANDING ABOVE THE CLOUDS
When the sacred mountain Muana Kea is targeted for the placement of a giant telescope, a group of women begin organizing to stop the planned construction. Stunningly Beautiful film is a compelling look at some women who are not going to let what matters to them slip away.
Recommended.
