Ludovic (Du Fresne), a sweet little boy who resides with his parents in a Belgian suburb, has decided that, when he grows up, he wants to be a girl. To him this is perfectly logical; he already favors wearing dresses and makeup, and is determined to eventually wed the boy-next-door. Needless to say, mom and dad are perplexed and none too pleased. All points of view are well served in this charming and compassionate comedy-drama.

I know this one is more entertainment related, but I chose to also include it in the issue related category, as it confronts and displays some of the issues related to gender identity disorder.
I don't know how they came buy this being an 'R' rated film. I went to see this film down at an international film festival in Athens Ohio. I give it five stars!!!! - Kathy Lynn

Compact documentary about N.Y.C. ``drag balls''--in which black and Latino men don ``vogue-ing'' disguises as everything from flamboyant queens to coat-and-tie businessmen or members of the military. Fresh and uncondescending, with a powerful element of tragedy near the end; an art-house smash, and among the most critically praised movies of its year.

A tongue-in-cheek glimpse at New York's underground cabaret circuit, including performances by Joey Arias, Rick Aviles, Charlie Barnett, Joe Coleman, Ann Magnuson, Emilio Cubiero, Karen Finley, Dean Johnson (w/Dean & the Weenies), Phoebe Legere, Lydia Lunch, Frank Moore, Annie Sprinkle, John Sex, and Shannah Laumeister.

This film is where I first saw a clip of Dean Johnson - then of Dean & the Weenies. Famous Drag/Punk Musician from New York. Dean Johnson is now playing with a band called the Velvet Mafia. -Kathy Lynn

A loving look at Edward D. Wood, Jr. , a man of boundless enthusiasm and no talent who made some of the worst movies of all time (including GLEN OR GLENDA and PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE). Cast to perfection, with Depp ideal in the title role. Landau--in Rick Baker makeup (both men won Oscars)--is positively astonishing as the aged and impoverished Bela Lugosi, whom Wood befriended. There isn't much story thrust here, but the vivid re-creation of time and place makes this a must for any old-movie buff.

Pre-dating the Stonewall milestone in Gay Rights, this documentary goes behind the scenes to witness the catty and campy competition of the mascaraed and sequined male contestants in the "Miss All-America Camp Beauty Pageant" of 1967. Celebrity judges include Edie Sedgwick, George Plimpton, Terry Southern and Andy Warhol.

A video portrait of one of Salvador Dali's cadre of friends, "International Chrysis," whose features are male from the waist down and female from the waist up.
