DRESSING DADS
A short documentary where the filmmaker explores how her relationship with her father was transformed by the knowledge of his being a cross-dresser. Featuring interviews with her father and his transvestite friends, the work dispels many of the common preconceptions about cross-dressing and transvestitism while being an engaging study of how families cope with aspects of individual difference and gender exploration.
