Loredana’s Fight Against Transphobia

"With a Honorable Mention we honor Giulia Ottaviano's "Loredana's Fight Against Transphobia". This movie has the virtue of disclosing the history and struggles of the Neapolitan "Femminielli" and trans people, the oppression related to the lack of alternative employment opportunities than sex work, the brutality of the streets and the absence of welfare for trans people.It also tells us about the birth of a community that exists with the guidance of the sisterhood and that, with its own energy, resists and creates strategies for survival and happiness in the desert. "Loredana's Fight Against Transphobia" is embodied example of how one can oppose the brutality of history by generating new worlds and imaginaries."
