| Summary |
Questioning rigidly defined constructs of gender, sexuality, and normality, often with lively good humor, ORCHIDS is the first film to look at intersex from a positive perspective. Its engaging portrait of survival, courage and reconciliation will speak to a variety of audiences and spark lively discussion about what it means to be perceived as "different.". Gen X filmmaker Phoebe Hart always knew she was different growing up – but she didn’t know why. ORCHIDS traces Phoebe’s voyage of self-discovery as an intersex person, a group of conditions formerly termed hermaphroditism. Learning only in her teens that she was born with 46XY (male) chromosomes, Hart now seeks to understand her own story and the stories of others affected by this complex and often shameful syndrome.. Nominated for Best Documentary Under One Hour at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards. |
