In God’s Daughter Dances, a transgender dancer faces the prospect of national service in the army, while in De La Terreur, Mes Soeurs, gloomy Goth Kathoum and her friends embark on a candy-coloured fantasy of revenge. The films in this double bill address the cruelty and prejudice many Trans people face each day, but ultimately they are uplifting, occasionally outrageous tales of triumph, and a cinematic two-fingered salute to the transphobes!


Yn God’s Daughter Dances, mae dawnsiwr trawsryweddol yn wynebu gwasanaeth cenedlaethol yn y fyddin, tra yn De La Terreur, Mes Soeurs, mae’r Goth Kalthoum a’i ffrindiau yn cychwyn ar ffantasi dial lliw candi. Mae'r ffilmiau yn y rhaglen ddwbl hon yn mynd i'r afael â'r creulondeb a'r rhagfarn y mae llawer o bobl Draws yn eu hwynebu bob dydd, ond yn y pen draw maent yn straeon dyrchafol, gwarthus o bryd i'w gilydd, ac yn saliwt ddwy-fys sinematig i'r trawsffobau! 

Transgender dancer Shin-mi gets a call from the Military Manpower Administration, to attend her Military Service Examination. Believing there must be some mistake she goes, but a cynical, unsympathetic doctor declares her fit for service, and so she takes the first steps towards an unlikely career in the South Korean army. But that’s not where the story ends!


Mae'r dawnsiwr trawsryweddol Shin-mi yn cael galwad gan y Weinyddiaeth Gweithlu Milwrol, i fynychu ei Harchwiliad Gwasanaeth Milwrol. Gan gredu bod camgymeriad wedi digwydd mae hi'n mynd, ond mae meddyg sinigaidd, digydymdeimlad yn datgan ei bod hi'n addas i wasanaethu, ac felly mae'n cymryd y camau cyntaf tuag at yrfa annhebygol ym myddin De Corea. Ond nid dyna lle mae'r stori'n gorffen!
