Across Gender

‘Across Gender’ is an ethnographic film about trans people in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The film follows LGBT-activists, drag performers, and students of an Islamic school for transwomen. Their stories are documented against the backdrop of anti-LGBT sentiments and actions in early 2016 and challenge stereotypes about trans people.
