Across Gender’ is an ethnographic film about the negotiation of visibility of trans people in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Focusing on personal experiences of different people who ‘cross gender’ we follow: LGBT-activists, drag performers, and students of an Islamic school for transwomen and learn about their experiences and views about Indonesian society.Through different people and spaces, ‘Across Gender’ gives a varied image of trans people in Yogyakarta and challenges stereotypes. The stories are documented in the midst of anti-LGBT sentiments and actions in early 2016 illustrate how the negotiation of visibility is an ongoing and difficult process. The film was made as part of the master’s program in visual anthropology at Leiden University, the Netherlands, and is based on two months of ethnographic fieldwork.

‘Adhiambo’ means ‘the one born in the evening’ in the language of the Luo of western Kenya. The film follows NyaSeme, a married mother and grandmother in her late 30s, during the last month of her pregnancy and through the first weeks of her newborn daughter’s life. The first part of the film focuses on everyday life in NyaSeme’s home, as well as on the work of the anthropologists in the home, who themselves are expecting a child, which is born shortly after NyaSeme’s. The second part follows the various small illnesses that the child, goes through. NyaSeme employs the herbal resources of the bush surrounding the home as well as those of the government dispensary; simultaneously, Otto, the anthropologists’ son falls ill and receives various forms of medical treatment. The film creates a personal account of a woman’s life, motherhood, children and the maintenance of bodily health in rural western Kenya, as well as insights into the reflexive and relational nature of ethnographic fieldwork.

“I am you and you are me” is a video installation that shows two films simultaneously, one film of a women’s circle and one film of a men’s circle. The participants of the circles go through a process of healing. Circles provide them with a safe space where one can be vulnerable, (re)connect with their selves and others, and first and foremost it is a space where love and warmth is being spread.

Durante los años 1975 y 1976, los militares ocupan el territorio de la provincia de Tucumán y desatan una gran represión como prueba piloto para luego dar el golpe de estado. Un campesino militante del ERP, que vivía humildemente con su esposa y seis hijos, es secuestrado y su cuerpo es arrojado desde un helicóptero en Pozo Hondo, un pueblo situado entre Tucumán y Santiago del Estero. La población lo entierra y lo transforma en un santo milagroso. En 2010 se descubre que ese cuerpo pertenece a Tomás Francisco Toconás, y las tremendas consecuencias del terrorismo de estado salen a la luz para reconstruir la verdad detrás de la historia de un mito.
During the years 1975 and 1976, the military occupied the territory of the province of Tucumán and unleashed a great repression as a pilot test to later launch the coup. A peasant militant of the ERP, who lived humbly with his wife and six of his children, is kidnapped and his body is thrown from a helicopter in Pozo Hondo, a town located between Tucumán and Santiago del Estero. The population buries him and transforms him into a miraculous saint. In 2010 it is discovered that this body belongs to Tomás Francisco Toconás, and the tremendous consequences of state terrorism come to light to reconstruct the truth behind the story of a myth.
