Larry (They/Them)

Larry (they/them) dir Catherine Legault/103min/Canada/2024/French & English with English subtitles

A look at the intimate world of young non-binary trans photographer Laurence Philomène as they put together their first book, Puberty, a series of self-portraits documenting their transition during hormone therapy. Mirroring Philomène’s autobiographical approach, LARRY (they/them) highlights the cinematic power of the artist’s vibrant, colour-saturated images and above all, their willingness to share their story with authenticity and vulnerability. Gender non-conforming identities, body diversity and the challenges of self-affirmation are also explored through an exclusive foray into Philomène’s family and community. Beyond the story of individual transformation, the film chronicles a society that is likewise transitioning, evolving as it grows. A celebration of those who refuse to conform, LARRY (they/them) is a luminous and engaging portrait of the complex, often misunderstood multiplicity of trans and non-binary identities and experiences, bringing to the screen one of the most inspiring and original voices of their generation and an LGBTQ+ community icon.
