Sheriff was born with a girl’s body, but as the grandmother in his
film recounts, he refused to wear dresses and always wanted to play
with the boys. As he travels the mountain kingdom of Lesotho showing
his film in remote villages and communities, Sheriff talks to his
audiences about gender identity and the frustration of being born the
‘wrong’ sex. His spectators react with surprise and curiosity, but
also offer remarkable warmth and acceptance that ultimately encourage
him to make his choice.

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
