Care & Tenderness
Directed by Cat C. Haines, Jaye Kovach
Logline: Two trans dykes interview one another about connection, community, kink, and sexuality.
Synopsis: Two trans dykes interview one another about connection, community, kink, and sexuality. In this DIY Super-8 film, the artists seek to document and explore their embodied, trans-for-trans and butch-femme relationship through the frameworks of kink and the everyday. This short and experimental film is unabashedly queer and trans, and focuses on the artists’ bodies and their queer relationships to one-another. As Mirha-Soleil Ross and Xanthra Phillipa MacKay note in Gendertroublemakers (1993), “We [transsexuals] have our own culture, language, stories and thus it is time for us and only us to document ourselves.”
