Brotherboys Yarnin’ Up
Australia, 2014, 9 mins. Dir. Lisa O’Brien and Aunty Gloria

Wuli Wuli and Waka Waka brotherboy Kai and Wiradjuri brotherboy Dean explain what it means to be a brotherboy and talk about their transition journeys and the support they have been given in their own Indigenous communities.

Kumu Hina
Hawai’i, 2014, 77 mins. Dir. Dean Hamer

Kumu Hina’s Hawai’i is a place where someone assigned a little boy can grow up to be the woman of their dreams, and a young person can rise to become a leader among men. Set over a year in Honolulu, the film follows the year-long quest of Hina Wong-Kalu, a Native Hawaiian māhū – or transgender – teacher and leader who uses traditional culture to inspire a student to claim their place as leader of their school’s all-male hula troupe. A documentary that unfolds like a narrative film, Kumu Hina hints at some of the compromises trans people may make, and offers insight into a Hawai’i rarely seen on screen.

Celebrate the success of the festival, and and scheme with us about future possibilities.
