ZANDIELMAN - 4008 MAIN ST, 15min., USA
Directed by Zander Markman
Inspired by 'Jeanne Dielman,' this short film follows a previously suicidal transgender man as he tends to his daily routine. Pride can be a much softer, subtler thing than what we're used to seeing in parades. This intimate exploration of the mundane meditates on gender roles, solitude, and the quest for meaning in a quiet, private existence. Take the deepest breaths you've taken all day.
