Treat Me Like Your Mother

Mohamad Abdouni / Lebanon / 2025 / 76 min / English subtitles
Saturday Oct 3 at 17.30, Telefonfabriken

This photographic documentary uncovers the intimate experiences of four trans women from Lebanon, recounting tales spanning from pioneering Lebanese state-funded gender-affirming surgery in 1997 to vanished safe spaces today. Together, Em Abed, Jamal Abdo, Antonella, and Mama Jad present an untold history to the backdrop of what is arguably the first photographic archive of trans women in Lebanon.

The event is also included in ’Full Night: Telefonfabriken’ (150 kronor), which you can choose in the Select Pass menu below.
