Lili
Prisen

Vores Lili Pris er opkaldt efter den danske, transkønnede kunstner Lili Elbe, der var blandt de første personer i den registrerede vestlige trans*historie, der gennemgik kønsbekræftende behandling i 1930. Lili Prisen tildeles bemærkelsesværdige film i deres kategori, som udfordrer eksisterende normer for seksualitet og køn. Disse film bliver nomineret af MIX’s programlæggere og udvalgt af vores internationale jury.

The Shift

Jury's statement on the winners:

🏆 A Place of Our Own 🏆

“We were impressed by the complexity of this film which hinges on a seemingly simple plot of two trans women’s search for a home. Starting from a place of housing injustice the film’s narrative expands into a sequence of events of structural violence towards them, which they navigate through resilience and struggle as well as grace, acerbic dismissal and razor sharp wit. Embodying queer collectivity and community making in the collective nature of its filmmaking, and drawing attention to trans women’s voices in the global south this felt like  anti colonial queer world making which we gestures to pathways for new ways of making home and making films for us all.”

🏆 Who I Am Not 🏆

“We were struck by the layers of this film which moves beyond the pure observation of the personal stories of its protagonists. Building a relationship with Sharon-Rose Khumalo and Dimakatso Sebidi over the course of the film, we observed how the filmmaking process centred the agency of their representation, whilst also deftly taking in the role of how policing of bodily norms affects our intimate networks, community and media, social norms and historical forces and has the power to make and unmake the differences and connections between us all.”

🏆 Dipped In Black 🏆

“We were drawn to this centring of queer aboriginal voices that conjoins its communities’ connections to land, spirit, mystery and soul in its aesthetic choices. Both courageous and joyful, this is a film that serves as a reminder  of how the possibilities of aboriginal queer life have been bordered and limited by the colonial imaginary and can be expanded by a queer one. The film is particularly urgent in the current context following the referendum last week, which rejected the recognition of aboriginal voices in Australian policy making.”
