tilde: Melbourne Trans & Gender Diverse Film Festival

Overview

After a successful debut in 2014, tilde: Melbourne Trans and Gender Diverse Film Festival is back for its second year. Moving across town from Carlton's Bella Union to the Lithuanian Club in North Melbourne, the festival's sophomore program will once again showcase contemporary features, documentaries and shorts made by trans and gender diverse filmmakers, alongside films featuring trans and gender diverse content and characters.

The festival, which runs from November 13-15, begins with Canadian comedy-drama Two 4 One, about a trans man named Adam whose life is thrown into turmoil with the reappearance of an ex-girlfriend. Other standouts include The New Man — a documentary co-production between Uruguay and Chile about a trans woman living in poverty in Montevideo — and Something Must Break, a Swedish coming of age film about a romance between two young people on the fringes of society. The program is bolstered by a lineup of fiction and documentary short films.
