Trans Memoria

Victoria Verseau

Trans Memoria

Victoria looks back in time to understand her transition and what it is that defines you as a woman. Having lost a close friend she shares her pain and embodied experience with Athena and Aamina, themselves on their own journeys of transition. Together they explore who they were then and who they are today, listening to the ghosts of the past, the laughs of the present and the whispers of the future. The film seamlessly blends formats, styles, and times. Realism intersects with more evocative atmosphere while meticulously framed cinematic tableaus are juxtaposed with shaky, low-quality digital footage. Trans Memoria is a deeply personal story that gives a sincere account of the experience of transition, future and womanhood.
