  • Overview

    Directed and written by Aurora Jamelo and Sophia William, “Incendiárias” compiles scenes of trans women and transvestites performing in public spaces in Pernambuco. The images sometimes tune in to these women's dreams and desires, their roots and truths; sometimes they denounce fears, frustrations and aggressions experienced daily - a provocation and, at the same time, a manifesto for the existence of this population.
