#7 Todos Cambiamos (everybody changes) | Panama

A reminder on the US American TV show Transparent, a story around a Los Angeles family and how they are coping with their father coming out as a trans woman. But Todos Cambamos takes place in Panama. The Ponce family is the perfect family living in the quiet mountain town of Bambito, Panama. Also, the feminine feel of the father of the house gets a place in the form of a regular date-night with mother Carol.  But when Lizzie decides to definitively leave her masculine facade behind and openly come out of the closet as a trans woman, everything seems to collapse. The film will receive the HIVOS – FREE TO BE ME award. – Todos Cambiamos.

#10 Jeune Juliette | Canada

Last but not least, we put a Canadian film in our top queer movies 2020 list! In this rousing comedy, Juliette and her best (and only) friend Léane don’t like gym class. Actually, they don’t really try at all. Rather, they skip class, talk trash about the other kids and host a radio show that everyone complains about – but they don’t care. She befriends an autistic boy, and together they form an irresistible outsider’s alliance. Trouble brews when Léane falls in love with Juliette… Colorful, kooky and cool. – Jeune Juliette.

French, with English subtitles
Dates:
22nd March 2020 | Sunday | 13:45 Hours
