SUMMARY:Normal Films Presents: Tiny Intersex Film Fest
DESCRIPTION:  \nPlease join us for the first ever Tiny Intersex Film Fest featuring two new documentary shorts titled\, Mami y Yo y Mi Gallito/Mom and Me and My Little Rooster directed by Arisleyda Dilone (NYC)\, and The Son I Never Had directed by Pidgeon Pagonis (Chicago). Join both filmmakers afterwards for a discussion.\n \nMami y Yo y Mi Gallito/Mom and Me and My Little Rooster\nDocumentary Short\n17 minutes/2015\n \nSynopsis:\n \nFor the past five years\, I have been pestering my mom to talk to me about my childhood\, my body and past and future surgical decisions: all in front of a camera. \nMy mother is a hardworking immigrant\, interested mainly in providing. I am the lazy offspring that asks too many questions. Parts of my identity have been shaped by a rebellion of the traditions she embraces\, interlaced with a deep respect for her perseverance. \nIn Mami y Yo y Mi Gallito we finally sit down to talk about my body as a hermaphrodite. \n  \nThe Son I Never Had\nDocumentary Short\n27 minutes/2016\n \nSynopsis:\n \nMy entire life I was lied to\, and made to lie. I always felt different\, but couldn’t quite figure out why. At 19\, I discovered that I was born intersex\, and whatever light was present in my life\, vanished. \nThat discovery propelled me to uncover my past\, in order to have a chance at having a future. Coincidentally\, during that time I was in the habit of recording those around me. \n10 years later\, I collected those recordings and retrieved some of the most painful conversations I’ve ever had with my parents. The Son I Never Had is a love letter to my parents\, my intersex self\, and my community\, as we try to survive in a world obsessed with binaries. \nSuggested donation of $5. No one turned away for lack of funds. \nTrigger Warning: One of the film includes memories of non-consensual genital surgery. \n  \n  \n \nArisleyda Dilone makes film work about her life and her family. Born in Santiago de Los de Caballeros\, Dominican Republic\, she spent her formative years in a hillside village outside of the city of Santiago. At the age of seven she was brought to New York and raised in a suburb of Long Island. Arisleyda pursued a life that would bring her immigrant parents pride while also being true to herself. She is the first in her family to attend and graduate college. Before films she worked in local NYC politics and international affairs. \nAs filmmaker\, she was awarded a NALIP mentorship and she was a 2012 Jerome Foundation-Travel and Study Grant Fellow. Arisleyda was a 2014 UnionDocs Collaborative Fellow and a 2015 Queer Art/Mentorship/Program Fellow\, in which she completed her short film\, Mami y Yo y Mi Gallito /Mom and Me and My Little Rooster. \n\nArisleyda is a member of Diverse Filmmakers Alliance and Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective.\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nPidgeon Pagonis is an intersex filmmaker\, activist and former Communications & Operations Manager and Youth Leadership Coordinator for interACT youth—the world’s first intersex youth project. They have a decade of experience researching\, advocating and educating a wide range of audiences about intersex\, and its respective movement for bodily autonomy and justice. They’ve recently been published in the academic journal Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics\, and were awarded by the White House as an LGBT Champion of Change. This fall\, they’ll be featured on an episode of Amazon’s Transparent.\n\n \n \n
