Christina Willings ’ documentary Beauty explores the lives of five gender-creative kids\, each uniquely engaged in shaping their ideas of what it means to be fully human. Claiming your own sense of gender when everything around you insis ts that you comply and conform can be challenging\, and sometimes scary. B ut luckily\, family and friends are there to help.\n\nFree-flowing animate d elements\, ranging from images of octopuses to astronauts\, draw togethe r the kids’ shared experiences in beautifully rendered fantasias that ce lebrate the power of imagination and the flourishing force of self-determi nation. Playful\, goofy\, loving and brave—each of these remarkable kids has found their own way to break free and show the world what it really m eans to be your true self.\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.nfb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/12 /BEAUTY_EPK.jpg CATEGORIES:Screenings LOCATION:Florence Filberg Rotary Room\, 411 Anderton Ave.\, Courtenay\, Br itish Columbia\, V9N 6C6\, Courtenay\, Canada GEO:49.6925342;-124.9970477 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=411 Anderton Ave.\, Courten ay\, British Columbia\, V9N 6C6\, Courtenay\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X -TITLE=Florence Filberg Rotary Room:geo:49.6925342,-124.9970477 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20191103T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:EST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
