Billie's journey to independence is accelerated when her mother reveals plans to gender transition, limiting their time together to Tuesday afternoons. Whatever happens to her mother, Billie will always be his daughter.

52 Tuesdays, itself filmed once a week, every Tuesday for a year, unfolds in realist time and almost documentary style. Initially shocked by her mother’s revelation, Billie begins to reflect on and explore her own sexuality, alternating between meetings with her mother and rendezvous with two fellow teens in a disused building.

Boasting heartfelt central performances from its non-professional cast, this unique and at times provocative film tells an emotionally charged story of desire, responsibility and transformation.

 

We will also be screening the following short film before the feature

Followers – dir. Tim Marshall (UK/Australia) 8 mins 2014

When an elderly woman sees a vision of Jesus on the swimming trunks of a young African man at her class, she befriends him as she believes God has sent her a sign for him to free her of her loneliness.

As part of POUTFest 2015 we are bringing you 3 brand new LGBT feature films and a selection of shorts. The theme of the 2015 POUT tour is “family” where all the features celebrate many different forms of family life in the 21st Century.
