Jana Bringlöv Ekspong, Victor Lindgren och Therese Högberg fick idag ta emot priset Loke’s Sister 2014. Priset delas ut av Tupilak – Nordic Rainbow Cultural Worker’s och tilldelades pristagarna för filmen TA AV MIG.
Motiveringen till priset för outstanding contribution to trans culture lyder:
”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.”
Priset delades ut i samband med Umeå Pride under söndagen.
2013 års pristagare var Ester Martin Bergsmark som bland annat gjort filmerna Pojktanten och Någonting måste gå sönder. Vi är stolta att ta över att få bära äran vidare!
