Description

"Celebrate diversity!" In an ideal world this catch phrase would be a call to embrace the difference of every person in LGBT communities and beyond. Unfortunately in the real world, people whose gender and sexuality do not fit into the standard definitions of male and female are often left out of the celebration. Anna Broinowski, the director of Sexing the Label, questions the current understanding of diversity by providing an avenue for personal expression. Composed of stories intimately told by individuals whose existence alone subverts the norms of society, Sexing the Label is a "journey into the Identity politics currently raging in the queerest pockets of Sydney's (Australia) underground community." Winner of the Best Director Films de Femmes in 1997, this feature is an adventurous probe into society's boundaries and definitions.

“Vancouver 12th Annual Queer Film & Video Festival.” Out on Screen, 2000.
