Amsterdam Transgender Film Festival is a multi-day film festival with international films about transgender and/or gender diversity. We screen a mix of films from all over the world; feature films, shorts, mainstream, experimental, professional and community films, and showcase an art program with video and other art forms. Our aim is to increase (awareness of) gender diversity, visibility, acceptance and empowerment of trans* and gender diverse people. In doing so we bring different communities together, challenge normative gender perspectives and investigate intersectionality with the purpose of joining forces and helping each other fight oppressions.

Details
De debuutfilm van Nieuw-Zeelandse regisseur en eerste (en tot nu toe enige!) vrouwelijke Palm d’Or-winnaar Jane Campion, bekend van The Piano en de recente serie Top of the Lake, gaat over de stille Kay en haar emotioneel instabiele zus Sweetie. De film bevat alles (en meer) van wat Campions latere werk zo geliefd zou maken: complexe vrouwelijke karakters, problematische familiebanden, een realistische weergave van de arbeidersklasse en vooral een mystieke en bijna magische atmosfeer.
Debut film by New-Zealand director and first (and until now only!) female winner of the Palm d’Or Jane Campion, who is known for The Piano and the recent tv-series Top of the Lake. The film tells the story of the quiet Kay and her emotionally unstable sister Sweetie. The film has everything (and more) of what would make Campion’s later work so beloved: complex female characters, problematic family ties, a realistic portrayal of the working class and above all a mystical and almost magical atmosphere.
