Gigi

Unclassified 18+

Dir. Cynthia Calvi / 2023 / 14 mins / France / French / Documentary, Drama, Animation / Australian Premiere

Aquatic and amphibious imagery act as motifs for a young woman’s recollections of her life.

Cynthia Calvi’s charming film bursts with bold colours, surrealist style, wonky lines and a defiantly 2D approach, recounting the titular character’s gender transition – and eventual gender euphoria – with humour and sensitivity.
