Ashley Bones: The Bimbo Cannibal, 15min., USA

Directed by Lee Dubin

Ashley Bones is just your regular pink-loving bimbo-core girly girl, with an absolutely relentless hunger for the flesh and blood of men. She is always on the hunt for the most irritating boys she can find, because there is just something about their insecure hyper-masculinity that makes their flesh taste so good when served with some light seasoning and a side of gluten-free pasta. But for the first time literally EVER, she has a hard time luring in the perfect target…

ARTHUR AVE., 9min., USA

Directed by Joey Medina

WARLA, 60min., Philippines

Directed by Kevin Zarate Alambra

Young Kitkat is taken in by Joice, who leads a group of transgender women kidnapping foreigners to fund gender-affirming surgeries that they believe will finally allow them to live as their true selves. Kitkat, however, does not feel the need to change her body to be a real woman. The others in the gang, like Luningning and Barbie Ann, carry the heavy scars of rejection, deep gender dysphoria, and painful memories of cruelty they have endured, making the surgeries feel like a lifeline. For Kitkat, who has never known acceptance from a family, finding belonging with these women is both healing and complicated, as she must confront the harsh and destructive choices the group makes. Loosely based on a true story, this social-realist drama explores how women who long to stop being preyed upon transform into perpetrators, carving out power in the only space they feel is left to them.
