ASSUME NOTHING


Assume Nothing
New Zealand 2009 / 80min. Director/Producer Kirsty MacDonald.
Many of us assume that there are only two genders and that being female or male follows from the sex of our biological bodies. Focusing on the art, photography and performances of six “alternative” gender artists of Maori, Samoan-Japanese, and Pakeha descent, the film Assume Nothing poses the questions: “What if “male” and “female” are not the only options? How do other genders express themselves through art?”
Director Kirsty Macdonald’s feature length debut documentary takes the orginal concept behind her short film and turns it into a full length theatrical release. Candid, playful and provocative, Assume Nothing travels from Wellington’s Red Rocks to the Metroplitan Museum of Art in New York to document photographer Rebecca Swan’s vibrant and sensitive exploration of the potent creative world that flourishes between and beyond genders.

Una dialéctica que tendríamos que empezar a superar y vernos sólo como seres humanos sin que la sexualidad sea un hecho definitorio de nuestra personalidad.
