Join us for a transformative screening of Nel mio nome / Into my name, a compelling film shedding light on the journeys of four friends – Nic, Leo, Andrea, and Raff – as they share their experiences of gender transition. Reflecting on their socialization as girls, these individuals recount their diverse yet interconnected narratives, revealing the complexities of their identities.
As they navigate their paths, they touch on significant aspects like:
🔹 Conversations with partners
🔹 Choices of pronouns
🔹 Hormone therapy decisions
🔹 Surgery considerations
🔹 Interactions with authorities
In a world that often enforces a strict gender binary, the act of self-determination regarding one's gender identity emerges as a subversive act. This film grants trans individuals a platform to articulate their journeys towards embracing the names they choose for themselves. It intricately portrays the societal hurdles they face while striving to enact necessary social, physical, and legal adjustments.
