The Growing Edge
Ian Kaler
Documentary, Fiction : 17' / Family, Trans, Identity, Autobiographical

Blurring the lines of choreography and storytelling, The Growing Edge explores the theatrical and staged, fictional and dreamlike in autobiography, reflecting on the depiction of lived queer and trans experience as personal and political narrative. The film's transmale protagonist recounts a fragmented father and son relationship alongside a journey of re-framing masculinity as an act of reconciliation.
