Trans - I got life / LETsDOK Dokumentarfilmtage 2024

In the organizer's words:

The film TRANS - I Got Life offers rarely seen, honest insights into the often torn lives of trans people and the complex psychological, hormonal and surgical aspects of their transition.

"Trans is not a curse or a disease, it's a journey." The film TRANS - I Got Life offers rarely seen, honest insights into the often torn lives of trans people and the complex psychological, hormonal and surgical aspects of their transition. Directors Imogen Kimmel and Doris Metz have gained the trust of seven people who have decided to go their own way. TRANS - I Got Life distils the broad spectrum of trans identity from the life stories of seven charismatic people. TRANS - I Got Life is a sensual journey into the in-between worlds beyond fixed gender norms, into intimate living spaces and into surgery, which becomes the delivery room for a second birth. The trans experience is subtly and complexly transferred to the visual and sound levels. The cinema documentary is a strong plea for us humans to no longer define ourselves by the 0.3 percent of DNA that distinguishes us, but by the 99.7 percent that connects us. At the same time, it opens up the social debate about a world in which the genders are no longer defined in black and white, but are seen as fluid TRANS - I Got Life concerns and touches everyone who lives in this world. Welcome to the 21st century!
