SUMMARY:Film Screening and Talk: I Am A Woman Now
DESCRIPTION:Director Michiel van Erp’s documentary portrays five aged tra
 nsgender women\, the first generation of pioneers who had their gender con
 firming surgery in Casablanca back in the 1950s to 1970s. They all were tr
 eated by the same “miracle doctor”\, Georges Burou. As long as the tra
 ns women paid\, there were no pre-conditions\, no questions asked at his c
 linic.\n\nThe film follows five women in their present life. The famous Fr
 ench Bambi who was one of the first to go to Casablanca. The Belgian Corin
 ne who finally tells her friend her big secret. The Dutch Colette who live
 d the life of an ordinary married housewife. The flamboyant British April 
 who gets to meet the son of Dr. Burou. The German Jean who struggled with 
 her gender identity her whole life. In the autumn of their lives\, they ar
 e looking back.\n\nDo these pioneers feel they've become themselves and di
 d it give them the fulfillment in life they expected?\n\nI Am A Woman Now 
 (NL 2011\, 80 min.) is a film about the pursuit of an almost unattainable 
 dream\, about the gap between its realization and the hard reality that so
 metimes follows.\n\nAlex Bakker\, one of the curators of the exhibition Tr
 ansTrans – Transatlantic Transgender Histories\, will make a short intro
 duction to the documentary and is available for a Q&amp\;A session followi
 ng the screening.\n\n\nThe event is a part of TransVision. Free entrance.
