	ocumentary follows the story of Robert Eads\, a trans man dying of ovarian
	 cancer. While indisputably a victim of systemic transphobia and medical m
	alfeasance from the American healthcare system\, Eads’ status as a trans e
	lder among his chosen family shows him as the beating heart of an incredib
	ly warm and life-affirming community. Southern Comfort\, named for the the
	n Atlanta-based national trans conference\, presents the common struggles 
	and common understandings among trans men in the 1990s with clear-eyed emp
	athy by filmmaker Kate Davis.\n\nDigital video\, color\, 90 min. Director:
	 Kate Davis.\n\nVera\nBrazil\, 1986\n\nBased on the life of Brazilian poet
	 Anderson Bigode Herzer\, who committed suicide at the age of 20\, this in
	tense drama tells the story of Bauer (Ana Beatriz Nogueira)\, a trans man 
	who navigates a difficult life in an orphanage before finding love with a 
	young librarian\, Clara (Aida Leiner). A sympathetic professor sees his ta
	lent as a poet\, but Bauer (the film’s title is his deadname) is mostly al
	one and misunderstood — proclaiming: “I’m not what everyone thinks I am. Y
	ou hear me? I’m different. I’m something else.” One of the earliest portra
	yals in cinema of a transmasculine character.\n\nDigital video\, color\, 8
	8 min. Director: Sergio Toledo. Screenwriter: Sandra Mara Herzer\, Sergio 
	Toledo. With: Ana Beatriz Nogueira\, Raul Cortez\, Aida Leiner.\n\nEvent W
