At the opening night of the Holebifilmfestival the audience has chosen the Winner of Holebikort 2017:
Calamity by Maxime Feyers & Séverine De Streyker
The jury praises the art of the filmmakers to portray a mother who slowly evolves from prejudice to a state of self-questioning. All this at the confrontation with a transgender daughter in law. The slowness of the film fits perfectly with this profound evolution, while the magic realism of music and humor softens the pain of the characters. This is a small masterpiece that crawls under your skin, that makes you speechless
