Death of My Daughter

Country: USA, Language: English, 9 mins

  • Director: Leon Mostovoy

CGiii Comment

As a film...the sound is terrible.

Trans people talk and revert back to their 'original' sex to be photographed in a coffin.

It really is as bad as it sounds.

Death of My Daughter was born when my mother, upon learning of my transition, announced to my family that I was dead to her. The Death Of My Daughter video documentary is about female to male transgender people and was conceived while shooting the photographic series, with the photographic images appearing throughout the video. The video documents interviews with each trans-male subject as he is being styled for the photo shoot. I conducted these interviews to enable the viewer to have a more personal connection with the men in the photographs - a better understanding of their communities, sexualities, histories, and journeys.
