  • AUDIENCE AWARD WINNERS:

    Best Feature Film: "XXY"
    DIRECTOR: Lucia Puenzo
    First-time director Lucia Puenzo has created a film as beautiful, tough and unpredictable as the rocky Uruguayan shoreline on which it is set. XXY is a portrait of Alex, a 15-year-old coping with an extended puberty made more complicated by the presence of an extra chromosome and, according to her mother, a few extra parts. Born intersex, Alex has been brought up female. But now that her body is changing— and she’s faced with the prospect of “corrective” surgery that her father refused to allow when she was born— she’s beginning to wonder.

    Best Documentary: "PAGEANT"
    DIRECTOR: Ron Davis, Stewart Halpern
    Taking us behind the glitz and glamour of the 34th annual Miss Gay America, filmmakers Ron Davis and Stewart Halpern focus on five female impersonators as they descend on Memphis, Tennessee to strut their stuff and compete against 45 other contestants. The amazing physical transformation of these men into glamorous women is a wonder to behold. No hormones or body enhancements are allowed, which means these au natural drag queens become beautiful the old-fashioned way: with duct tape and lots of makeup.

    Best Short: "NO BIKINI"
    DIRECTOR: Claudia Morgado Escanilla
    At seven years old, Robin decides to go without her bikini top at a summer camp – with surprising results!
