North American Premiere | Q&A with Camila José Donoso
Nicolás Videla and Camila José Donoso’s sharply observed feature debut, a fictionalized account of a transgender woman’s struggles to finance her sex-change operation, is an imaginative embodiment of the trans-ness it celebrates: a documentary with the structure of a fictional character study.

The title of Nicolás Videla and Camila José Donoso’s debut feature, a hybrid film centered around the struggle of Yermén, a thirtysomething transgender woman, to finance her sex-change operation, is at once odd and totally fitting. “I’d like to look like Naomi Campbell,” a young woman tells Yermén as the two of them sit in a Santiago hospital waiting room. “Be exactly the same.” Naomi Campbel is a savvy critique of the assumptions—about gender, class, and beauty—that inspire that sort of talk, but it’s also an imaginative embodiment of the trans-ness it celebrates: a documentary with the structure of a fictional character study, and a sleekly shot piece of digital filmmaking punctuated by pixelated, low-grade video footage shot by Yermén herself.
