Adam's Apple
2026
An intimate, collaborative documentary told through the dual perspectives of Adam, a transgender teen, and his mother, visual artist Amy Jenkins, that offers an authentic and tender counterpoint to the hostility facing trans youth today. Adam’s journey balances the milestones of gender transition with the rhythms of adolescence. As Adam asserts his identity and steps out into the world, his parents grapple with the challenges of raising a teen while learning to let go. Through a visually poetic approach, the film transforms a deeply personal archive, collected over two decades, into a powerful, joyful testament to the beauty and difficulty of reckoning with profound change.Prestidigitateur, II

Blending rare archival footage with original material, it is a work of art-both informative and emotional-tracing the aftermath of murder, mass rape, child abductions, and a systematic effort to erase Ukrainian identity. It cinematically reveals Russia's national project to erase all things Ukrainian, and the determined fight by Ukrainians and their allies to resist and prevail.
