Men Like Me Men Like Me is a techno documentary exploring the physical and social transformation of Dale Michaels, a transgender man. With stills, text, animation, colorising, morphing images and sound, slow motion and out of sync dialogue, Men Like Me breaks new ground to illustrate the (re)construction of the body as we know it. Men Like Me is not only Dale's story, but also an account of the filmmaker's journey. What does it mean to have a friend who is changing their gender and how does one adapt to such a metamorphic experience?

Tainted: Christopher Lef... In a 1993 art exhibit at the University of Saskatchewan, Christopher Lefler allegedly outed the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, Sylvia Fedoruk.

Mainstream media and the queer community framed this issue as one of outing, when it was also used to attack the funding of the arts. This film attempts to chart some of the reactions to Lefler's controversial and much maligned work.

Jirimpimbira: An African... A brave boy named Temba ventures to find food and water for his drought-striken village. But when he is given a set of magical bones, he uses them to gain riches for himself instead of sharing with his friends.
