Synopsis |
|
| |
Follow filmmaker Tori Foster as she grabs her camera and travels 7000 kilometres across Canada to talk to 20 women about what it's like to be queer where they live. The documentary follows the 22 year old's journey through all ten provinces, beginning in Newfoundland and ending in British Columbia.
Each woman she meets has a unique perspective on all things queer - stereotypes, hairstyles, gender mishaps, and community life, to name a few. Now, Toronto 's weekly magazine says, "Moments like tranny-boy Jaye's cogent discussion of macho bullshit in the trans community or manic Winnipegger Madeline's oddly affecting account of leaving Playboys and nudie-girl posters in her bedroom to piss off her bigoted parents resonate on a deep level." The 70 minute documentary is intimate and personal, telling stories about what make each of us who we are.
Shot and edited entirely by Foster, the project is a journey of both self discovery, and an exploration of our queer female communities. Inspired by growing up in the small city of Barrie Ontario, the documentary connects individuals and communities separated by the vast geography of Canada. |
