While making a documentary on the Cuban rituals behind Santeria, filmmaker Carolina Valencia uncovered
Filmmaker Carolina Valencia, was at work on a project featuring Cuban rituals behind the Afro-Caribbean religion of Santeria when her entire world was rocked by the simple utterance of a Santeria priest: You have the wrong gender. Given this impetus to undertake a long coveted gender transition, the film soon becomes a powerful journey for the filmmaker and her Santeria priest. Born into a life of extreme privilege was no salve, as she learned through a lifetime spent lying to herself. Told with fierce honesty and dry humour, Valencia weaves threads of realism and mysticism in order to address complicated issues of identity and faith. The film's unseen energy is a testament to the filmmaker's talents, honed through years as a visual artist and designer. Valencia combines memory, time and identity in a poetic and rhythmic composition that reflects both the creative process and her personal quest to be true to herself. View the Trailer |
