Short documentary film, 2013
Premier at 63. Berlin International Film Festival, Berlinale Shorts competition
Maike Mia Hohne ,program curator of Berlinale Shorts:
Ja kada sam bila klinac, bila sam klinka (When I Was a Boy, I Was a Girl) is an impressive documentary from Serbia. Finally, no clichés about sex workers! Ivana Todorovic portrays her transsexual friend who gives her very special, unpretentious access. A very intimate view, that gets very close. These are the films that we need in order to get closer to people who are so far from us.
