SUMMARY:NIÑXS (Inverness)
DESCRIPTION:🔊 Listen to this Event Page\n        \n    \nIn the rural small town of Tepoztlán\, Mexico\, fifteen-year-old Karla gets to tell her own coming-of-age story as she navigates the joys and complexities of trans adolescence. Irresistibly warm and funny\, NIÑXS bursts the seams of documentary convention by dissolving the distance between filmmaker and subject. Director Kani Lapuerta and Karla reflect together on their transness as they watch eight years’ worth of footage documenting this formative period of Karla’s life: from trying out for the cheer team\, playing with makeup\, to being embarrassed by her loving and supportive parents. In an era where trans kids are spoken over and spoken for\, NIÑXS sparkles with confidence\, wit\, and magic: a joyous demand that trans youth get to narrate their own stories. Presented as part of Take One Action Film Festivals 2025! \nGrasping with both hands the joy\, tenderness and tenacity that jumps through the screen in NIÑXS\, stay on after the screening for a celebration of trans life lived to its fullest. \n  \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £5\, £10\, £15\, or £20.

The volleyball coach spots Ace on her first day\, and invites her to try out for the team. She is initially no good at the sport and socially ostracised\, but things begin to change when she falls for the highly motivated team captain\, Jana\, who dislikes her because she sees her as a threat. But the girls and their teammates must nonetheless join forces: not only to successfully compete in competitions\, but also to face up against a more disturbing\, insidious threat. Powered by authentic performances\, Samantha Lee’s heartfelt film captures the resilience of the young athlete as she struggles for acceptance\, and the strength of female solidarity in a society rigged against women. \nCurated by Queer East. \n  \nClick here to book your ticket for this event \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £4\, £8\, £12\, £16\, or £20\, in order to make SQIFF more accessible to those on a low income.
