UNDRESS ME awarded by Nordic Rainbow Cultural Workers!
During Umeå Pride Jana Bringlöv Ekspong, Victor Lindgren and Therese Högberg recieved the award Loke’s Sister 2014 for their film UNDRESS ME. The organization behind the award is Tupilak – Nordic Rainbow Cultural Worker’s.
The award Loke´s Sister for outstanding contribution to trans culture goes to UNDRESS ME:
“For it’s moving and painful meeting between a beautiful trans woman and a attracted but prejudiced would-be lover.
Confirming that trans culture is a crucial part of the global lgbt culture and identity.
And for proving that the colors of the rainbow streched over all borders – including the transgender – becomes not paler but more brilliant and visible.”
Last year, the award went to Ester Martin Bergsmark who made She male snails and Something Must Break.
