A $5,000 grant is awarded to the Brazilian filmmakers Coraci Ruiz et Julio Lima for their project Iridescent, A House With no Prejudice

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

There is a small and old house in the central area of Campinas (São Paulo State), where six transsexuals live and struggle to survive. From different backgrounds, they have in common a history of family rejection, the experience of being homeless and a life-change connection with Suzy Santos, creator and president of the “House Without Prejudice”, a place that welcomes transgender people in vulnerable situations. In a post-pandemic context, a small film crew integrates into the daily life of the group for three months to capture an intimate portrait of this extraordinary daily life. The film disrupts stereotypes and gives depth to characters marginalized in society.
