The demands of immigration, meeting the parents, finding power in sex work, an unexpected investigation, and 10 years of transitioning. This collection of films invites audiences on a journey through identity, resilience, and transformation.
Gofynion mewnfudo, cwrdd â'r rhieni, dod o hyd i rym mewn gwaith rhyw, ymchwiliad annisgwyl, a 10 mlynedd o drawsnewid. Mae'r casgliad hwn o ffilmiau yn gwahodd cynulleidfaoedd ar daith drwy hunaniaeth, gwydnwch a thrawsnewidiad.
Elena is close to receiving her citizenship, but the government expands control over its people, and a new mind reading technology is used to filter out undesirable applicants whose innermost thoughts and values do not fully align with them. Elena must decide between a future with her girlfriend or moving home to a country that considers her relationship illegal.
Director’s bio
Born and raised in Germany, Carrie (She/Her/Hers) relocated to the UK to pursue a career in film, where she has been working across fashion, music and commercials since. Her visually distinct style has led to collaborations with brands and artists such as Puma, Vinted, Dua Lipa, Red Bull Racing, Barbour and Amazon.
Her first short film Last Dance premiered at the BAFTA qualifying Underwire Film Festival in London, where it was nominated for best U25 production. Her latest short film Diary of a Ghost, a short drama exploring grief and mental health, was longlisted for Best English film at the British Short Film Awards. Carrie has been curating film screenings at Sarah Kravitz Gallery and Southampton Film Week and served as a judge at the 2025 edition of the BIFA qualifying Sunrise Film Festival and Fine Line Film Festival. She is also the co-founder of CHERRYPICK.
Mae Elena bron â derbyn ei dinasyddiaeth, ond mae'r llywodraeth yn ehangu rheolaeth dros ei phobl, a defnyddir technoleg darllen meddyliau newydd i hidlo allan ymgeiswyr annymunol nad yw eu meddyliau a'u gwerthoedd mwyaf mewnol yn cyd-fynd yn llawn â nhw. Rhaid i Elena benderfynu rhwng dyfodol gyda'i chariad neu symud adref i wlad sy'n ystyried ei pherthynas yn anghyfreithlon.
Bywgraffiadur y Cyfarwyddwr
Wedi’i geni a’i magu yn yr Almaen, symudodd Carrie (Hi/Hi/Ei) i’r DU i ddilyn gyrfa mewn ffilm, lle mae hi wedi bod yn gweithio ar draws ffasiwn, cerddoriaeth a hysbysebion ers hynny. Mae ei harddull weledol unigryw wedi arwain at gydweithio â brandiau ac artistiaid fel Puma, Vinted, Dua Lipa, Red Bull Racing, Barbour ac Amazon.
Dangoswyd ei ffilm fer gyntaf Last Dance am y tro cyntaf yng Ngŵyl Ffilmiau Underwire (gŵyl cymhwyso BAFTA) yn Llundain, lle cafodd ei henwebu ar gyfer y cynhyrchiad dan 25 gorau. Roedd ei ffilm fer ddiweddaraf Diary of a Ghost, drama fer sy’n archwilio galar ac iechyd meddwl, ar restr hir y ffilm Saesneg Orau yng Ngwobrau Ffilm Fer Prydain. Mae Carrie wedi bod yn curadu dangosiadau ffilm yn Oriel Sarah Kravitz ac Wythnos Ffilm Southampton ac roedd yn feirniad yn rhifyn 2025 o Ŵyl Ffilmiau Sunrise a Gŵyl Ffilm Fine Line sy’n gymwys gan BIFA. Hi hefyd yw cyd-sylfaenydd CHERRYPICK.
