Hosts Leo Torre and Indigo Korres interview Jack Goessens about their films Everyman (2021) & Who I Am Now (2022). Everyman is a personal, visual essay about gender transition – focusing on the social context and implications and exploring how the world is different living as female compared to being perceived as male. Jack tells his story by using and reframing gender focused tropes and imagery from popular culture, mythology, history and art. Starring an all-queer cast to display different aspects of Jack's life and identity, mirroring his experience from his unique point of view. Who I Am Now is a drama animation hybrid. When Tariq’s older brother arrives from Egypt - the first time he’s seen him since he came to the UK and since his transition - he’s forced to confront his complicated feelings about family. Denise, his friend, a fellow trans refugee and teammate, shares her own story about friends and family. A film about the family we're born into and the families we make from our friends.
