In May 2011, Transgender Luxembourg approached REVERSED PICTURES A.S.B.L. to write and shoot short films dealing with (trans-) gender issues in modern Western culture. These short films are to be shown at a colloquium at the Abbey Neumünster to provide attendees with further - and perhaps more artistic - input within the field of gender studies. The colloquium is entitled 'Gender Normativity and its Impact on Childhood and Adolescence' and is scheduled from Monday, 24^th – Saturday, 29^th September 2012 in Luxembourg.

The short films aim to raise awareness of (trans)gender issues, thus complementing the academic part of the colloquium. However, Reversed Pictures' contribution to the colloquium is first and foremost meant to put the academic discourse in context in creative and aesthetic fashion.
The Luxembourgish Service National de la Jeunesse (SNJ) and the European Commission granted us financial aid to help us produce the short films.
