My Friend Artemis is a short film that follows Artemis, a Norwegian transwoman who wants to complete her transformation, with the challenges this brings in an early phase of the gender correction process.
Director's statement by Mads Sterri Nilsen:
"My Friend Artemis is a short film that I am proud to show the world. This film was important for me to make because it shows how my friend experiences being a trans woman and the challenges this brings in an early phase of the gender correction process. I also hoped that the film could shed some light on a subject that is still taboo in our society."
Media coverage:
Karmoynyt
"Last year, Artemis (22) came out as trans. Now her story will be a documentary"
Haugesund newspaper
"It was sad to lose our son at first, but then I realized it was still the same person."
