FORE: What makes an Independent film?
In her debut film, Alexander Norton explores the possibilities of masculinity within the confines of its own structure. As a transgender director, she focuses her attention on a particular lens of her past life, altering memories to create another reality from the original pieces. Using golf as a catylist, the overarching theme of queer perspectives on expected masculinities opens up the discourse with a 120 minute venture into “What makes an independent film?”.
The first screening and program at Moviemento, Berlin also included a short film made in 1997 starring herself and her father in a disappearing act that mirrors the same occurrence later in her life. To delve further into the perspective of independent film making a behind the scenes film was shown, followed by a Q&A format which will delved into the themes from the films shown to allow for further dialogues around queer masculinities and masculine role model expectation within family structures.
