Portraits: Human Journeys
| She’s a Boy I Knew / Gwen Haworth | Using archival footage and animation, Vancouver filmmaker Gwen Haworth documents her male-tofemale gender transition partially through the voices of her anxious but loving family, best friend, and wife. As her family (including her police officer father) recounts its own journeys through the filmmaker’s gender transition, the film invites us to question our assumptions about the role that names, clothing, culture and anatomy play in our constructions of gender identity. A comic, heartbreaking, and uplifting autobiography that focuses on the interpersonal relationships of a family who unexpectedly find their bonds strengthening as they overcome their preconceptions of gender and sexuality.
